Excellent article for those who have served in the Armed Forces [and those who are still serving].
Often, the families of those diagnosed with PTSD live through all the ups and downs on a daily basis.
PTSD related to military service cannot be ignored - those charities and other organisations who work directly with Armed Forces personnel also recognise the need to work with the families.

Heres an extract:
"It is difficult for a civilian to understand what it is like to be the partner of someone who is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to their service in the armed forces.
A career in the armed forces is not a 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday kind of commitment so a charity, set up by two mothers of injured servicemen, is dedicated to helping military spouses deal with the emotional challenges.
Instead of chats at the water cooler, service personnel can find themselves in far-flung places around the world at short notice, leaving their loved ones back at home wondering how they are. And, once they enter Civvy street, life doesn't magically become "normal" for some."
