Honestly, I had no clue that he had PTSD
until we actually went up to the VA.
But I noticed that he was getting angry a lot,
that he was short-tempered, would startle easily.
We would go out to eat and he'd have to sit with his body
facing the door instead of just sitting wherever we could.
We'd have to find a seat that sat towards the door.
My big thing that I noticed was when we,
Fourth of July, one year.
We went to do fireworks, and the noise from it
he couldn't take and had to go home.
And I couldn't understand when I came home
and he had headphones on, and he was shaking.
That's when we knew something had to be done.
We couldn't do the "pretend everything was OK" any longer.
