Is this poor guy getting any counseling? If not, he SHOULD be. PTSD is a serious disorder, and he really needs help. If he's trying to deal with it on his own, he's making a big mistake. He could end up "blowing" at any time. Encourage him to see therapy if he's not getting any. I'm sure you help him to a certain extent but he needs professional help.
If he IS getting help, perhaps he should go more often. He's probably going to the VA, and it's difficult to get in in the first place, let alone any more often. I don't know if he could afford pay for therapy on his own, but if he could he just might want to forget the VA and seek private help. That way he could perhaps go more often.
I wish you both the very best of luck. Just be patient with him -- obviously he's been thru a lot and has seen some horrible things. It's going to take a long time for him to get thru this. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
