She did not want to share that pain with us.

Trish Barini, Friend of a Veteran with PTSD, talks about what it's like to live with someone who has PTSD.

Transcript

Stacy doesn't have a lot of, like, really close-knit friends

that are close to her, most of them are military,

going through their own type of pain, situations, whatever.

And Andy, her husband, was her closest ally.

So I think that she just really depended on him a lot

to talk about everything, and the rest of us,

she cocooned from that.

Yes, of course she needed us, and, you know, she came

to be at the farm and be with the horses, but she,

I guess she isolated us from knowing what she had been through

because she did not want to share that pain with us.
