You may find it difficult to understand what your partner is going through, that is perfectly fine. That is because you don’t struggle with PTSD or share the same type of experiences. However, you can still provide support and empathy when your spouse needs it most. Learning about the condition can help you and your spouse understand the situation better and know what to expect and how to handle the situation. Many people hesitate to ask their partner about their struggle with PTSD. You may be afraid of bringing up painful memories. You might even be concerned you will trigger PTSD symptoms.

When I was 19, I got a scholarship to go to New York for my College studies. I told my parents about it, they were not pleased with it as I would be traveling out of my country to a different country and continent entirely. Out of so much fear for my parents and not to disobey them, I stayed back in India and had my college studies there. Every time I think about that scholarship I forfeited, I beat myself. I still haven’t forgiven myself for that decision made to stay back. The scholarship would’ve paved way for me and make available to me, many opportunities. Sadly, i have not gotten the opportunity to go to New York since I forfeited that opportunity, even though I tried many times later. It just didn’t work out. It was such a very bad decision, the worst I’ve made in my life.
