I believe my father, a WWII vet, suffered from PTSD. I know the children and my mother suffered because of his moods....having worked with veterans that have PTSD, I, like a lot of people in the VA, dreaded the thought of the next wave of sufferers. The current wars are particularly bad as there are no "lines" that forces are behind that they can feel relatively safe. So the adrenalin is always on....it's a horrible affliction.
