- To understand the challenges of residing with a Service member or Veteran (SM/V) with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this qualitative study analyzed semistructured interviews of 21 partners and 4 adult children of Canadian SM/Vs with PTSD. Participants were asked about their experiences living with a family member with military-related PTSD. Findings revealed the potential ripple effects of mental health difficulties to other family members and the interconnected challenges faced by families managing militaryrelated PTSD.
