It's so much to deal with.

Edward Noftell (former partner of a Veteran with PTSD) talks about what it's like to live with someone who has PTSD.

I'm still involved because we have three kids together.

And now, I can't say I would still be involved

if we didn't have any kids.

So, it's possible, but the way I see her friends disappearing,

I probably would have done the same thing

because it's just so much work.

And I'm sure it's like this for everybody that has a PTSD.

It's just, it's so much to deal with.

All I know is what I experience from her dealing with it.

So, I try to be there for her.

I try to give advice when I can, when she needs it,

but most of the time it's not enough from me.

So, she needs proper care, proper help

from people that do know the situation better than I do.

It is a lot.

It's not something I ever expected.

But, you know, the same can be said for her.

I'm sure she didn't expect it.

So, it's not something I'm going to walk away from.
