My PTSD has affected my marriage.

Tyler Jones, US Marine Corps 2002 - 2006, talks about how his PTSD affected his loved ones.

Transcript

I feel that my PTSD has affected my relationship, my marriage,

in the sense that there are days when I,

even I feel that I'm kind of almost like a roommate.

And she's called me on it, and I'm glad she has.

I've gotten into my head, periodically, but she's there to

pull it out, pull me out of it when necessary.

But at the same token, it's trying to figure out, you know,

why do I revert into myself like that?

And is there a way I can deal with these things without

alienating her or anyone else in the process

and being that kind of roommate who just is there?

Rather than be more involved, which I'd rather be.
