Out of Curiousity. - PTSD

danica_nillo · 06-28-2009, 09:20 PM

My husband has not been deployed yet. I have a question. I was just curious.

I don't think that this would EVER happen to me (but then again, who does), but... What if your SO hits you while dealing with PTSD. Are you supposed to stay with them and be supportive? Or do you draw the line?

What would you/ did you do?

PTSD is no excuse for abuse. i think the two are very different. not to be rude here but i think this question is a little out of line.

I don't really see that it is out of line. If you don't want to answer, don't answer. I just wanted to know what other people thought about it.

I would never stay with DH if ge hit me no matter what. But, I do think a lot of women would stay with their SO and blame it on PTSD and not look past it.

I also don't find your question out of line. I don't see you as asking in a malicious way I think your question was out of curiosity

i really didn't mean for it to be rude, but PTSD is a sensitive subject. there's a stigma about PTSD that it makes people violent and abusive when that's not always the case at all.

I agree that PTSD is no excuse for abuse. However, I think it was a perfectly acceptable question. The OP was curious to whether that was something that could or does happen.

I wouldn't stay with my DH either. But I met a girl that told me her husband has hit her, and it's because of his last deployment. But that it's OK? I thought that was weird.

I think if DH ever hit me, we would have more serious problems then his PTSD.

I don't think that it always makes people violent. But it DOES happen.
