Illness

No, not me, but poor Henry is suffering from severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  It is so stressful for him and Emma too and I feel VERY frustrated not being there to help.
See if he had a broken leg or something, it would be easier for everyone, including Henry to deal with.  Why is mental illness given such a stigma?  He is a great husband and dad but at the moment all anyone can see is the illness.  It has changed him and it's easy to forget what he is really like.  I think that serving his country for 20 years in the US Navy has a lot to answer for.  At least in the US PTSD is much more understood and he is beginning to get help.  It will be a long process.  I am really praying for the whole lovely family.
