A few weeks ago my husband who suffers from PTSD told me his therapist suggested he get a dog.. I said I would love a dog! BUT we just bought a house.. our German Shepard was stolen less than a year ago and I’m still upset about it.. so I didn’t really think he was thinking of getting a dog so soon.. but sure enough he calls me and says he is going to pick up a disabled vet service dog tonight.. I’m like what... umm ok.. he doesn’t really talk to me about his stress levels or triggers.. he has been having horrible nightmares and even almost smothered me one night covering me and sobbing.. but I’m not ready for the responsibility of a dog.. the house we have needs so much work and the kids rooms aren’t even set up how I want them.. but he has been suicidal before and if he feels he needs this I have to support him.. he’s been baker acted twice.. he suffered from addiction before so he refuses meds.. the dog is trained to wake from nightmares.. I’m afraid he is really bad and just hiding it from me so I don’t want to deny him of what can help but at the same time... I don’t know if I can handle this added responsibility.. I’m not sure why I’m posting here but I need advice.. do I tell him no and risk him being so severely depressed he takes his life? Or do I just support him and take on the extra responsibility? What if it isn’t enough... what if we do this and then he still isn’t better..
