Yes it can. I have to relearn a lot of things. I know that it's impossible for a person to be available all the time. That is one of the biggest reasons that I emerse myself into Whisper. It's a coping tool for me.
I know that it sounds worse than what it actually is, and I appreciate your sympathy. PTSD is a disorder that attacks whenever and where ever. There is no real cure, but there are ways to help in healing.
Amelda's come on with the sound of helicopters and other forms of macshinery and the sounds cause him to fall within himself. Mine is pretty close, but it's not with the sound of helicopters. It's a phrase or a certain smell. Sometimes it's a combination of both.
My husband tries to understand. I tell him everyday that just because I may seem distant, it has nothing to do with him, it's the problems that are associated with the disorder. We've been married for going on 12 years now, so that tells me that he has no intentions of giving up. :-)
