In many ways we've been lucky. My husband had a GP who really cared and sent him to a psychologist who really knows his stuff! But we're 12 years down the track and it's only been this year that he went into a mental health facility (voluntarily, I should point out) to get help for his PTSD and the associated dependencies that go along with it.
When he came out of that clinic he was disoriented, dissociative and, once again, in denial. That was three months ago. He's just now reaching a point where he can openly say to me "I'm not coping".
