I'm no longer married.

Reedy Hopkins, US Air Force 1983 - 2011, talks about how his PTSD affected his loved ones.

Transcript

Well, I'm no longer married,

so that is one direct reflection to it.

It put a lot of strain on the relationship with my children

because I was a little more high-strung, a little more vigilant,

probably a little more short-tempered

than I had been before I went to war.

Never abusive but, you know, more short-tempered

and more easily brought to anger, if you will.
