What it's like to be a Vietnam wife -- What post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is -- Living with the ice man -- PTSD and sex -- The reality of multiple roles -- Alcohol and addiction -- Anger -- Battered wives -- But military wives never -- Wives of Black and Hispanic Vietnam veterans -- Children and PTSD -- Suicide and the Vietnam veteran family -- I believe in love: the hope of therapy -- Stay or go -- Epilogue -- Coping techniques for the veteran wife -- Summary of Vet Center Study results.;The wives and children of Vietnam veterans are the forgotten warriors of the Vietnam War. For them the war never ended, it just came home. They share their lives with veterans afflicted with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the devastating psychological problem that plagues at least half a million Vietnam veterans. These men suffer from vivid and sometimes violent flashbacks, chronic depression, emotional numbing, and withdrawal. Some of these men abuse their spouses and children; some turn to drugs and alcohol; some even attempt suicide; but all of their suffering can destroy the lives of their families. This is the first book to focus on the plight of the wives and children of the Vietnam vet. Written by a psychologist with extensive experience in counseling both Vietnam veterans and their wives, this book will prove a revelation to the general public, and a godsend to those wives who thought no one understood.
