Welcome to this forum. It seems you have a lot to deal with, but the one thing you need to remember is to just take it one step at a time and don't expect things to just go away in a snap. You've asked for help, that's the first step, congrats on that. Posting here is a good step also because there are many people on here that can relate to one thing or another. We may not have the answers but we here to listen and be of comfort.
One thing, I'm not sure what PTSD is. Could you explain it so I can understand a little more of what you going though.

PTSD is post trumatic stress disorder, I was diagnosed with that after being raped while on duty in the gulf war. thank you for your reply to my post.. I felt so alone, all went well with talking with my husband last night so that is good, I think he was really disappointed in me but he didn't leave me or get mad at me..

Hello Chey,

There are moments when I feel very alone too. I just posted something to your other message as well. If I may ask, Why were you worried that your husband would get mad or leave you ?

Peace,
