George isn’t who we should emulate, at least not beyond taking to heart our self-worth. No, the real hero and the person who deserves our praise is Mary.
Really needed to read this after managing my husband's PTSD episode for the last 24 hours. His outbursts are getting easier to identify and anticipate, but it's still exhausting trying to navigate the manic chaos and I end up feeling guilty that I didn't do enough to ease the frustration he feels being the one going through it. I hope I'm a Mary but I still struggle to know how to help my George.

I imagine that can be difficult and like you said, exhausting. I hope you are both able to find a balance and measures of peace. <3
