She was trying to isolate.

Chris Hamilton, Son of a Veteran with PTSD, talks about the signs of PTSD that he saw.

I felt that she was angry, and I felt that, in retrospect,

that she was 100 percent isolating.

And making the only decision possible is,

"You're either going to straighten up

or you're not going to be around the kids and the wife

because I can't put in a 16-hour a day,

come home to two kids and a wife,

and have you interfering in that situation

to the level to where no one's happy."

I have my immediate family, my nuclear family,

which is my wife and two kids,

and then my extended family, which is my mother.

How do I balance that?

And if the other three people that live with me

are completely not OK, and you're the source of the tension,

I have to do something about that.

So fortunately, we were able to find a very good way

to diffuse that situation and deal with her PTSD.
