Hi Everyone

My husband has dealt with what I have suspected to be anxiety and/or depression for years now, and has been a big city homicide detective for about 5 years. He was recently diagnosed with PTSD. No specific event, just general horrible job-related experiences. He tells me about a lot of what he sees, as I am a nurse and have dealt with some horrible things myself and can handle it, but he, being a man, doesn't want to get into the feelings part. He is seeing a psychiatrist and I can understand if he doesn't want to get all touchy feely, but I don't know how to help him. Is just being here enough? What am I supposed to do when he tells me that having a family makes it hard for him to go to an abused baby's autopsy? Makes me feel like I need help too. Not sure how to handle this.

Thanks
