Newbie, separated and looking for support (long),

[Sky's Wife]

Hello Bobby O, thanks for your post. H is not leaving military, at least not yet, and he is not in a position that he has to leave now. Its just that he can't be promoted in higher rank any more before he graduates, not transfer to a more interesting job in the same industry. So he feels stuck in a way. He is a Cpt. now. Another concern is that, due to economic crisis, the government made significant cuts in funds also for the army and plans do carry out reforms that include significant staff cut, which may easily affect him personally.

As of PTSD, I don't know, but I don't think it is the issue now. It certainly played a role in our first marital crisis in 2000/2001, I know for sure, as it was stated in his hospital documentation.

True, he lost 16 pounds in last month, but I guess it is a consequence of all what is happening to us. He agreed to find a good IC, and seems he alerady took some steps towards contacting one. Unfortunately she is on holidays till beginning of September.

Thanks for your support, I read your story and will keep you in my prayers. Take care,

Sky's Wife
