I wrote this pamphlet during the first Gulf War for wives because I knew
there was nothing out there that explained PTSD simply and how we feel
about it. The VA system, well, some of the hospitals used to buy it and
give it out. One day I got a call from a Vietnam vet. He said that his
therapist at the VA had given him the pamphlet to give to his wife, so
of course he read it first, and it was the first time he ever realized
that his PTSD could affect his wife! He was blown away. I was so happy
to hear that it helped him understand too. I hope it did them some good.
