The Worst Feeling Since I've Been Home

[19K30]

Well me and my 10 year old son went on a school trip to the capital building in Montgomery and I froze. When I walked in I saw the wall of fallen hero's and noticed that my recruiter was one of them. I mean floored because we did pt together and he went to my first wedding. It was all I could do to hold myself together in front of my son. He recruited out of Albertville AL when we had a station there and he was the same MOS as me, he talked me into it. I felt guilty for not being in the tank with him or at least behind him.

Survivor's guild. If you don't mind me asking (perhaps in a pm), are you getting any treatment?

Ya I have been in a therapy session every week and a lot of pills I figured I would keep his name private for the family's sake but it's just something else I have to deal with.

A lot of info on the forum to avoid repetition.
Browse at leisure and give it time is all I can say.

It's part of healing though too mate, you have to confront your demons whether it be survivors guild or something else.

Just a little bit at a time Brother. You DID hold it together. Im from a small town in eastern Ky, so I know how it is. My dog has helped to break the ice with the locals, and like DR said, put yourself out there a little bit at a time. I try to go to the local festivals we have here. I have a Brother vet who goes with. Makes it a lot more comfortable for me to know i have my six covered around a crowd of people. It's all about baby steps. Peace.
