The reason we didn't go out today is because my husband has bad PTSD (he's deployed before). Fireworks are only allowed…

shit pisses me off. call the cops

I might here in a bit. I told my husband I would and he said no, not to ruin their celebration. :/ @aniyahsmommy0403

I would call the cops and then go out there and explain you have a soldier with PTSD and if they cared about America, or their freedom they would respect got husband by not letting off the fireworks, and then remind them that it's illegal in your area to do so anyway.

nobody ever thinks about that.. ive just now starting seeing post about it this year on fb but its been real asf.. people dont understand its not a joke.

easy fix. wear headphones and play music.

thats definitely not a easy fix

call the cops

went over to let them know, they felt bad, but there's still people popping them. :/ I called the cops to just let them know and they said they're aware of the situation and are sending an officer to patrol area. @aniyahsmommy0403 @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom

@mamaash, like @aniyahsmommy0403 its not an easy fix.

yes it is an easy fix actually... when it comes to cancelling out the noise. I am not at all referring about his PTSD

but thats what the post is about.. im sure the head phones wont block out all of the fireworks 😑👌

it kind of is actually when she says I don't know how to make my husbands anxiety better... putting on any kind of headphones with music loud enough to cancel out people's voices... will cancel out sounds of fireworks. so yeah....

having PTSD I know headphones won't work. he's already heard them go off, as have I. putting earphones in takes most of the sound away, I agree. However, already hearing it, having PTSD, and knowing it is going to happen all night is still going to leave bad anxiety for all of us. If he is an over thinker like most people with PTSD (me) then all bight he's going to be worried about his family and not knowing if it's fireworks or guns, what if someone breaks in... All night, like I am. Headphones is not a good solution. He has already heard it. the best thing I would suggest, because that's what we're doing, is stay close to him, with the kids, comfort him. Go to the most quiet room in your house and play a board game so the kids don't ask any questions and make him feel bad. my husband and I have music on in the background, in the basement playing a game so I don't have to hear it but I'm still aware. His biggest thing is going to be wanting to be aware and you can't do that with any direct noise in your ear.

thank you @mlgh92 for explaining it in a way I couldn't. @mamaash if I give him headphones he's going to throw them and get upset with me. we took a shower and now we're watching a movie with the surround sound on. we opened the curtains so he can see the fireworks with the noise. I'll probably leave music or the TV on tonight for him.

no problem @alibaker21 your family will be in my prayers tonight!

okay good glad things are going better for him. just to clarify I never met anything will ill intentions. have a good night. 🙌🏻

thank you @mlgh92 you will be in ours. ❤
