My Biggest Obstacle in the last 24 Hours

[BlueCollarMama]

NCIS. Yes that would be the TV show.

Ok see nothing was on TV last night that DH and I watch so we settled on a rerun of NCIS that had been recorded on our DVR.

Well everything was fine until the Grunt they were looking for went into a PTSD meltdown and flipped out!

Why is this a big deal? Because it caused my Grunt to go into a PTSD melt down. He had tears running down his face holding his breath and was shaking. Before I could even try to calm him down he let out this like growling yell and jumped up off the bed down the stairs and out the back door.

He came back a little while later and was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He doesn't have a episode like that very often but when he does they take alot out of him. Im just really glad the kids were all asleep, I don't know how I would've been able to explain PTSD to the oldest 2 (5 and 4 years old)

Needless to say he had nightmares last night and was shouting phrases in Arabic in his sleep which kept me awake. So maybe it wasn't NCIS that was obstacle maybe it was PTSD.
