Matt has been struggling immensely here, without much improvement since we arrived almost a year and a half ago. I just checked him into an inpatient psychiatry program at the hospital because he has come very close to a breakdown. I feel so overwhelmed and pretty broken, but this is absolutely the best thing. I hope this can help. I don't expect a miracle right away, but I'm hoping this can bridge the gap for him and help him get to a better place where we can come up with a plan. Luckily, right now the kids are young enough and he's gone so much that it's easier to tell them he's at work. Please don't quote, because I will probably delete by tomorrow. I feel so tremendously lost.
Oh honey! I'm so sorry. That is such a tough decision, but clearly you know it was it right one. I'm praying that this will help him find his footing and be able to move forward. Is there anything we can do to help you guys in the meantime? Huge, huge hugs... it seems cliche to say you've got this, but sincerely, if anyone can work through something of this magnitude, it's you guys.
Oh, M. I'm so sorry. My XH had to spend 30 days at a 30 days when we were stationed at Fort Sill, and I remember how hard it was. Obviously M is nothing like XH, but having to deal with that situation was so hard. Do you have any idea how long he is going to be there? Is this related to his tbi? My mom has been going through some similar stuff and it's heartbreaking to watch, so I can't imagine living it. Her husband has severe PTSD, and depression that stems from that and the tbi. She came down Monday to go to the doctor with me, and she looks so tired and defeated.
Are you in therapy or anything? Between what you share on here, Facebook, and IG, you are so busy and have so much on your plate. You take such amazing care of those babies, and I know not having him around right now makes things so much harder.
I hope you know that if you ever need to talk, I'm here. If you don't have my number still, let me know and I'll message it to you. Love you ❤️

Oh M, I'm so sorry! He's doing the best thing for himself and I hope things are going to get better from here. If anyone can get through this, it's you guys, although I wish you didn't have to. So many hugs and let me know what you need.
I'm so sorry you guys are faced with this. I'm glad he was willing to get help and hopefully this will be a positive step for him and your family. How can we help you? You do so much for others, make sure you take care of yourself too. We love you.
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. I feel like you constantly have so much on your plate, and this cannot be easy. I am very happy he is being taken care of, though I know you wish you could snap your fingers and make this whole thing done & over and have your husband healthy. ANYTHING I can do, please ask! Anything at all. You're always helping everyone else- let us help you. Sending you so much love.
I'm really sorry M you have so much on your plate, you really don't deserve this. And he deserves to be happy. You both are wonderful people. I hope this program helps him. How long more do you have there? This sucks. I wish I could help. Love you
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. Im so glad he was willing to seek help, that right there shows just how strong he is. I'm sure the road ahead is a long one but hopefully each day gets a little easier.
You are such a strong and amazing person, I'm sorry that you guys have to deal with this. I hope he gets the help he needs and that you make it through relatively unscathed. Hugs friend.
I hope this helps him. I know this must be incredibly difficult, but you are an amazing mother and wife. Anytime you need to talk, I'm here. Sending hugs and lots of good thoughts for M, your kids, and you.
((hugs)) I am so sorry you guys are going through this. I really believe this program he went to will help immensely. We are all here for you. Lots of love and good thoughts are with you.
Huge hugs M. I'm so sorry you guys are going through this, but so glad you both are on board with getting him help. You are both incredibly strong and brave to take this step.
Now - how can we help you friend? And don't say nothing because you go above and beyond for everyone here. What do you need? I wish we weren't so far away. We are here for you the whole way. Love to you and your family!
