My comment is for Jayla..
You mentioned that you are a military wife.. has your husband been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan? If not, then you have no clue what Brandy or I or any other military wife that has a husband deployed there goes through. It's not that we want them to breach a confidence when we state that we wish they could talk to us, it's the fact that we want to help them and we feel helpless (or atleast I do).

If you haven't walked in our shoes, don't tell us how to wear them.

Cause if you think you're tired of hearing spouses talk about PTSD how do you think we feel when we are being nothing but understanding and you are made to feel like it's all your fault for what he's going through, and all you get from non-knowing individuals is "You need to be more understanding, you knew what you were getting into when you married a military man."

I want to respond to all of you, but mostly Jayla. I completely agree with you. We are getting help not only as a couple, but one on one also. I knew what I was marrying into and I accepted it. It's hard for me to know that he is hurting because he is my best friend and I want to protect him from that. I know it sounds stupid, but that's part of the mom in me I guess. We both know that it is going to be a long road to "recovery" but we are both willing to do it and I support him 100% in everything he does. I'm so thankful to him for coming out on the show because I know how difficult that was for him to do. Thank you everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers. You can never have enough prayers.

Thank you so much by bring this subject to life. I am a Vet. That also has PTSD. It has ruined my life. It is something that I will have for the rest of my life. I would must rather have cancer or some other disease that is curable. This is not. There are Vets. that come home from war every day with this. Why will the government not do anything about it? Go fight a war and then come home and ack like nothing is wrong and try to live a normal life again. Ya right. The best thing that everybody can do is welcome these Vets. home with open arms, tell them thanks and just understand. We will not be normal like everybody else, just remember not everybody else has seen what we have seen either. The best thing that ever happened to me was going to the North Chicago V.A. center. They have a five week program that is the best in the country. Thank You to all the Vets out there. Your brothers know what you are going through.

If your spouse has been in combat, particularly guerilla war such as Iraq & Afghanistan, you can't imagine what it was like. Some people turn to mush, some to stone, and some appear unaffected. If they want to sleep on "your" side of the bed, or put their favorite chair in a corner, let them. They may want you to drive the car, and have anxiety attacks in traffic jams. If you can't support them unconditionally, why not?

My daddy was a Master Sergeant in the "old Army". NCOs and officers used to say, "if a wife made you a better soldier, the supply sergeant would have issued you one".

First of all, to all of those who do suffer from PTSD, those in the military and those who dont, my heart goes out to all of you. So much of this problem is only pinned to those who serve, but there are a mass of forgotten who suffer from this without having ever served. The more education we receive about this devastating disease, the better we as family members, spouses, and family loved ones can deal and help the person who has been diagnosed. I admire Jake for coming to terms and admitting he has a problem. So many of our activity duty do not and choose not to seek help for whatever reasons. Now, my gripe. I am sick of tired of hearing it. When you get married the role of a wife/husband is to support through the good and the bad. Coming from a military oriented family and having been a military wife, those who are in the civilian world don't understand sometimes the code of conduct these men and women agree to when serving. Alot of the things they experience over in those fighting areas they are not allowed to talk about or they will be breaching that code. You're not entitled as anything to hear about their experiences unless you have a PH'D in some sort of Pysychological counseling services. Your role as a wife and spouse is to buckle down and support the heck outta that man, as a husband support the heck outta that wife and make sure they explore every possible path to get cured and better deal with the traumas theyve experienced and then communicate and be extremely patient. Marriages shouldn't fail because civilians aren't equipped to handle the cirucmstances of being married to the service. some things are better left unsaid and left where they were last seen or dealt with. To Jake and his wife, please seek counseling for his sake, and give him time to work it out between his profession and himself. Until then, continue to love him, keep communicating although it is hard, and keep loving him no matter what. Because in my opinion, when Jake starts to come out of it, he will be looking to that one person who saw him through it all to celebrate, and that one person will be you. Your marriage will become stronger for it, not weaker because of it.

I have been diagnosed with ptsd also because of being molested by a family member when I was very young. It's amazing how similar the symptoms are to what I viewed on this show today. I also am bitter and have a hard time watching people enjoying life. Since remembering these events (I had repressed them for over 50 years) I have become only a shell of my old self. I am on medication and have also been in therapy, but I can't seem to find my way back. My heart and prayers go out to the both of you and all the other young families that are dealing with this. Thank God for people like Dr. Keith who are offering help.

I watched this show today and it was like seeing my life on your show. My husband returned from Iraq in April and we have been experiencing a lot of the issues that this couple has. My heart went out to both of them as well as my prayers.

The thing that I'm hoping will come from doing this show is that others will realize that they are not alone. So many of our friends and family are coming home afraid to ask for help. I hope this helps a little.
