First Welcome to PsycCentral and the PTSD board,

I am sorry somthing bad happened when you were alone last time - as elysium3006 said can you get someone to stay with you or go with your husband?

Are you seeing a therapist? if so can you talk to them about it? I used to sleep with the TV on all night and the lights on in the lounge room or hallway - I would (still do) check all the windows and doors before I went to bed - I have wind chimes on my doors attached to the handles so if anyone comes in I will hear them - I have my mobile by my bed and a torch in case the lights go out - do what you can to make yourself feel safe
