H never came back from Iraq

[MichelleLT]

Okay, so I guess I got off track last post with my venting. What I really wanted to ask is this - reverse psychology works with H probably 90% of the time. E.g. when I told him I knew he didn't have PTSD and that I'm sure he could handle it was the first time he didn't get defensive and deny it, he actually admitted he showed a few symptoms (even though he insists they are minor and he can handle it).

So, I'm kinda stuck right now with the LRT. I won't file for D so I can't threaten to. But generally he gets stubborn when he gets pushed, so I've been considering pushing him to file. Partially because it is true that this is wearing on me and I wish he'd just file already if H has made up his mind. And partially because I hope instead of him bringing up filing for D and justifying why he's doing it, me pushing him to file will force him to think about why he hasn't filed yet (especially since he keeps insisting periodically that he still does not believe in D).

Thoughts?

On a final note, I think I'm leaving tomorrow for So Cal. My friend wants to do New Year's Eve at Disneyland plus I've got some family down there I can catch up with. So I probably won't be online for a few days.
