Do you know if the disability was from his branch of service or from the Department of Veterans affairs? What branch of service was he in?
Did he keep in contact with anyone?
Because of the nature of service in these recent conflicts - many Veterans are suffering in addition to PTSD - brain injuries. In all honesty if he is still babbling in jail I hope they consider medical possibilities and look at his brain.
I would think it might help your daughter in her healing if she knew if something like this was in play. Is she in shock?
Its important she get support right away. She is going to need a lot of emotional support.
Quoting: Starbird I'm not sure where the disability came from, but I know he followed up with the VA, so maybe from them. He was infantry in the Army. I'm not sure about whether he kept contact with anyone or not. I personally know so little about his time in Afghanistan because I didn't want to press him. I do know that fireworks really triggered his PTSD badly. She's not in shock, but she is in so much pain that she doesn't want to address the psychological aspect as yet because she doesn't think she can handle the physical pain that would be caused by becoming emotional and crying. Someone is with her at all times, whether it is me or her father. She knows that she needs to get therapy eventually to deal with this. The whole extended family is just trying to do our best to be there and support her. I had read when someone experiences things so horrible and they don’t talk about it like her husband that it keeps the ptsd alive. He kept it all inside and then it welled up when the right drugs were taken or situation arrived. Talk therapy is so necessary. I can understand about your daughter wanting to stay calm so she can heal but she will have to talk about it eventually so she doesn’t get ptsd. Even though it is painful it is so necessary. So glad she has so many rallying around her. You and your husband will have to do some healing as well. Talking about your emotions is so vital so you can keep going for her. This is wrong advice. Talk therapy is NOT necessary and can do great harm. PTSD does NOT come of not talking about traumatic experience and talking about it can be injurious. Here is an article about how there is a place for talk therapy and then more to address the subconscious. If we don’t then the mental becomes physical. I’ve been using things like this to heal myself. It just doesn’t help though to shut down and keep things inside. [ link to www.healthyplace.com (secure)]
