You know, I'd often be distant with my wife.
There were just things I didn't want to talk about.
I noticed there was things that, to sit down and even as silly
as to play video games with my kids or whatever,
I just had no interest.
My boy would want to come up and give me hug
and it was like, "My bubble space.
Give me some room."
So yeah, it was definitely taking a little bit of a toll.
At first it seemed minor, but I was aware of it.
It was one of the things initially before I even knew
about the PTSD is it was affecting enough
that I had talked with my wife and we had sought
out marriage counseling initially and through that led
to our counselor suggesting
that maybe I should have some additional testing or screening
for the PTSD symptoms.
