I'm not sure this is the right place to post this but....not sure it would fit anywheres else.

My late husband was a soldier. Suffered a head injury while he was serving he should never have survived.

So he did but....though I never saw any signs of ptsd....he had all the classic symptoms of a head injury.

He also had major bitterness towards the Army as he felt...his injury meant he could no longer serve so discharged,
thrown on the scrap heap and left to fend for self on civvy street.

I'm not really sure the point of this post except....apart from getting it out....i want folks to understand how much our
soldiers suffer to protect our freedom and rights.

There's a whole lot more I need to say but...maybe when I see how and if folks respond to this...I can finally let it out
let this ghost to rest? Coz it's not just soldiers who suffer the effects of combat but...wives and kids too.

Sorry if anyone finds this post inappropriate or offensive, just in that place atm.
