Need Positive Thoughts
For this young man. His name is Chris I have known him since he was 3. He use to live next door to me. He also has 3 brothers. Both parents are druggies. They use to climb out their window and come to my house to eat. Their mom was locked up in ward B. She fried her brain. One day their dad asked if I would watch them so I did. He never came back. I finely got ahold of their aunt who came and got them. Fast forward. He joined the Marines and did 2 tours in Iraq. When his auunt passed away he got out to help his uncle with his brothers. Here is the problem he is having problems with PTSD. They are rating him 100% disabled because of it. He will be getting the help he needs now. But he needs all the good throught and prays he can get. He's having a hard time with it. And no family surport for him. None of his family understands what has happened to him and they really don't care. I care alot. We do a lot of emails back and forth. He's 26.
FernYes I'm out of my mind. It's a dark and scary place in there.

Fern - how lucky the brothers were that they had you in their lives!! Of course he'll be in my prayers. PTSD is so serious - and can be helped with treatment. Mahalo for being his champion!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
