Hello my name is Fred. I'm 75, 16 years ago the Va said I had PTSD ok they failed to tell me what is was? something like arthritis or such? on gave me some meds because of a bad back surgery I thought the meds were to help my pain. 5 years later they misdiagnosed some stomic pain and after 3 weeks told me my gull blader had exploded and I was might die. I spent a month or so in a coma and 4 months rehab. Since getting out of the service I have beeb aristed at least a dozen times for assults been put in a for 51-15 at least 10 times for drinking or such. been married 4 times. never worked a job more than a couple years mostly construction where I could work alone and engaged in many risky things car racing rock climbing pig hunting with a spear or bow ect. Now the government says that I'm 70% disabled and will pay for therpie and a back years pay .
My family says I should feel good now !!! I feel nothing but RAGE. all these years ( 58 ) of wondering why I wasn't happy feeling like I was always outside looking in a others feeling like people were always picking on me and after me. Loseing everything I ever loved or cared for over and over! If I had cancer or a tumer people would me but No Iwas just a ASS hole to be suned but now because the government is going to give me a pension I should be happy! Thanks for letting me vent fred
 
@Fred Davis, I would be enraged myself, thinking of all the wasted time and people who are no longer in your life because you simply did not know how to move forward. It is so easy for others to 'label' us, as assholes, trouble makers, ect... when the whole time we are searching for a way out !!! So happy you are here, and be mad until it no longer serves its purpose, and we are here for you.. I have made a lot of progress since being here... hope to see you around... it's never too late... there is hope !!!
