#veteranwifelife is NOT easy. Nothing about it is easy and it is often #drainingonmultiplelevels .I am a mom, a wife, a caregiver, an advocate, a teacher, a Nanny, an assistant.... I am these things for him and the four kids we have. This is work many get paid lots to do. I get no monies for this. It is not covered by the V.A. or insurance. I get no respite care, or breaks. My husband has been deemed #perminatelydisabled by the VA... but, only for #PTSD and not his other issues, as they have #refusedtoclaimthoseissues . The VA doctors have agreed and noted they are from him being a #combatveteran around guns and bomb... loud noises and super bright lights ( #nightblindness ).
Out of our four kids in the home... two are special in some form. #PTSD #Merld #developmentallydelayed #Autism #Dyslexia #ADHD #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #OppositionalDefiantDisorder #raynaudssyndrome
