Your site has been so helpful, I don't even know the words to say to even try to express how much so. And htis picture is truely moving, it is perfect to convey the point I am trying to make in my report, similar to your mission too I guess.<br /> I Not only have I been able to more deeply understand what PTSD is in a medical way, but also in a personal way.<br /> My dad is a Vietnam veteran and, up until this year, I had no idea that he had PTSD. I hated him for a long time because he was always getting angry about the simplest things, or he would freak out if I jumped out at him as a joke. I hated him to the point that I wouldn't even acknowlege his existence for days on end, even though I knew it hurt him deeply.<br /> I didn't understand then, I didn't have a clue that he had been affected by the war. but now I do, and I regret it all. All the medical sites just state the symptoms and treatments. You really show the true colors and turmoil that is the reality for veterans.<br /> Thank you for shedding light on this, hopefully I can now fix things between me and my dad, now that I more deeply understand what he's gone through.<br /> Again, Thank you putting yourself out there for the good of everyone else, not just overseas, but on this blog too.<br /><br />God Bless.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325259054009594928noreply@blogger.com
