I think I understand your dilemma. I have this story in my head about a soldier who comes home with PTSD. Except everything I've been reading about PTSD makes it sound like it wouldn't go well with romance; how can this character learn to love when he can't cope with everyday life? But I like what's been said here. Give the wounded person a support system and a means of coping. Life won't be perfect, there could be plenty of hiccups along the way, but it can be rich.Jana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-6759751959858897432017-05-16T12:06:30.435-04:002017-05-16T12:06:30.435-04:00Thanks for the vote of confidence, Margie!!
