Question
ArmyWife
Well my husband wasn't told about his first C & P Exam...so now while we were dealing with that I thought I would get some tips ,if and when we ever do get one.
1. Should I go with him?
2. Should we bring these "letters"- I have heard of people bringing "letters" from family members and battle buddies. My husband says that all he needs to bring is his CIB and that should be proof enough (he is quite stubborn)
3. What should or shouldn't we say? Since he has been out he has had a drug problem, should we not bring this up?
4. It seems like you have to do all of these tricks to get proper treatment/disability rating..I just want to do the right thing.
He has :
Depression
Anxiety
Never sleeps
Spurts of anger
Lack of interest in sex (its been 6 months )
Drug problem
He has many many dreams about the Army
Trouble expressing emotion
Trouble staying focused
He just can't relate to people, its like he lives in his own world 24/7
He is such a great father, but I feel more distant from him each day.
He shows pretty much all the signs, which at first I think we were both in denial about. But its like it came on full force...I am currently seeking counseling but I can only get counseling after he goes at the local Vet Center.
I guess I am worried he won't be able to express all of these things to the Dr. ...as he does have trouble talking to people. So maybe I shouldn't be there, or maybe I should to contest?
I am giving all of this to God and praying constantly for him. At first I was so angry, because i didn't think it would happen to him, but now I sort of have some peace,I guess.
