I am trying to be the best spouse I can be to my wife. She was just diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety. She doesn't want me to telling anyone in our family. I will respect her wishes because I love her, but I don't know if I can do this alone.

That's a tough spot to be in and I don't know what I would do in your shoes. Would your wife be comfortable with you joining a support group? That way you can have some people to talk to without the other family being involved.

Yeah it's really difficult to be in your positon right now. I agree with the previous reply.  You should have at least one person to talk to especially when hard times come and get some advices from them.

I would suggest some family

I would suggest some family counseling. 1. for your wife to openly talk to someone who is not allowed to share info unless she is in danger and 2. for you to be able to understand and also let out your emotions! Their are many support groups that can help both you and your wife.
