The casualty PTSD causes on one's family.

As I write this entry my heart breaks I have been exposed to the effects of Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD) for almost seven years , wow! it takes a toll on the family. Another incident occurred yesterday, which has me truly thinking how might I help myself and child to be truly safe from our soldier, my husband and our child's dad. This lastest incident became more violent than it has been in this time making me stratch my head and wonder am I dreaming can the person I love so much resort to such personalty changes to make me think the next time he may truly hurt me or our child. This disorder is real and the worst part of it, is that you cannot control when our how the person with the disorder my react sometimes there triggers to avoid bu you can NEVER determine the reaction or outcome that will result.  The other caveat to this is that you cannot make the person with the disorder admit their faults or misgivings they have to be the one to look within to determine what is going on, and at times they will never be able to tell what is going on or why they react they way they do. This is a difficult life and I pray and Thank  God that he has chosen me to handle and  be brave enough and strong enough to know it is time for me to take a bigger stand and step aside and let things happen as they ought to.  The effects of  PTSD is a major disorder ...it's real . So the next time you see an article written about PTSd read and educate yourself about the disorder and if you  desire please contribute to military projects that help soldiers and their familes coping , living with PTSD.

You determine the outcome

Good Day ! I am ready to start this day. I have a positive attitude and feeling better today ( was ill yesterday) and just happy to be with my family. So for all my military patrons I got an awesome deal on Monday , I was able to save on Milkbones dog biscuits i had a coupon BOG Milk bone chew for free with the purchase of 2 milkbone biscuits, so I had another coupon that enabled me to save $1.50 with the purchase of two milkbone biscuits so after the discount I scored three boxes of milk bones for my dogs for a mere .76 each box YEA YEA!

Milkbone boxes 1.89 ea. x 2 + 3.78-41.50 = $2.28 plus the free box  /3 = .76 score!!!!!!!!!

Love, Honor and Oh yes lotsa RESPECT! HOOAAH!

Love , honor and respect, if you  have been in this world for some time you know these words, if you are miltary or associated wit hthe military you know these famous words and if you are married you ought to know these words, right? well, do you abide by them? Some words and phrases make m ponder  if I truly am?  As I found out that my hubby has been selected for yet another tour (third) to a remote country to defend our freedom.  My emotions were allover the place ; Why?  was my first emotion. Then I gathered my thoughts and realized things happen for a reason. Later that day we found out he will not be slated to deploy ( yeah yeah) but I wanted to ask my soldier the question why would you even consider the offer? He explained he needs to honor  his country, he was simply wishing to get the respect from his nation. Well, he can get respect many ways but putting your life on the line  when there are others who have yet to do so is  simply not acceptable when a soldier has over fifteen years service, purple heart recipient and has a family who has experienced more than most we now deserve the honor. My soldier came up with the phrase " I can go many places but my medal of honor needs to be captured at home from my family." All this miltary wife can say is HOOAH! I agree baby!  With that said, I have added a phrase in my twitter description to include Proud wife of a Purple Heart recipient.  So next time you see a soldier lets remember to honor and respect them not only for their service but for them being a human being  and mostly lest we not forget to thank the families they deserve your praises as well.   Let's remember Fredom is not free.  With love honor and mostly respect.
