Marjolaine Rocheleau

Marjolaine Rocheleau is a former military wife whose husband returned from Bosnia with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Carrying the weight of experience

I didn’t recognize that my husband had PTSD

We did not feel supported

When my husband was in the military there was very little supportive mental health care

The military must offer more support for the spouse and for their families

Being a young army wife was difficult

It’s hard for your soldier to return home

When you don’t know if your husband will come back

The impact of moving often

The CAF doesn’t prepare you for life after serving

Better transition supports are needed

Supporting men and women when they come back from deployment

No one can be prepared for the horror of what my husband saw in Bosnia

I was alone and my husband always had his fellow soldiers

I was lonely in my military marriage

Reintegration into the family is very hard
