Crystal Lindsey, Wife of a Veteran with PTSD, talks about what was hardest for her.

The nightmares, I have to say, are the worst part

because there's nothing I can do to get him out of it.

My doctors told me, "Don't wake him up."

You don't wake him up from the nightmares,

it makes the nightmares worse.

And I learned my lesson the first time I did that because

he didn't realize where he was, and he became aggressive.

And then the minute he kind of came out of it

and realized what he was doing, he's like,

"Oh, my hell, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
