VA has a caregiver program to compensate those that care for disabled vets. This program is for veterans that would otherwise "institutionalized". (i.e. visibly disabled is what they really mean)
There is a high rate of divorce and/or suicide because it is not easy living with the ongoing trama of combat PTSD for the veteran, the caregiver to care for a veteran with severe combat PTSD, yourself, and especially so when you have kids. So with that being said I have 2 questions.

Question 1: How are you to work outside the home when you are worrying or better yet trying to keep a job when you have to leave if a major flashback sends you home too many times?

Question 2: Which institution works for those who decide is part of the program, mental institution, prison mental ward or dead?

I would like to know which institution would prefer for those who risked their physical and mental well-being to serve their country?
