It feels beautiful.
It feels, I can't, I don't think there's no words to tell you
that how beautiful my life has become.
It doesn't mean that all the problems in my life has gone away.
But I have a better grip
on how to handle things in my life now.
Treatment has been huge.
Treatment has definitely, definitely helped me.
Treatment has turned my life completely around.
I am a lot more comfortable in my own skin.
Relationship with the kids, it's better now.
It's way better.
My kids love me.
I mean, they call me every day.
If my daughter is not calling me every day,
they're knocking at the door now.
Through counseling and through the PTSD help,
I have come to realize that what I thought in that incident
for all these years, that I either made a mistake
or could have done something different,
I came to realize that I didn't do anything wrong.
Yes, I do feel like I still have PTSD,
but I am in control of it now.
Whenever I wake up of the dream, the trauma,
I don't have a problem with dealing with it.
Before, I couldn't deal with it.
I didn't want to talk about it.
But now, I'm at peace with it.
I can talk about it, as long as someone want to listen to it
I can talk about it.
Before, I couldn't do that.
Nowadays, I get plenty of sleep.
I don't have the nightmares.
I don't wake from dreams feeling as though
someone were watching me, which is unsettling.
It's a lot better life now.
We became a much happier couple.
Even though we were dedicated to one another,
we had some hidden problems once in a while.
And, more or less, it began to erase,
erase it from our daily lives, and we became more contented
and very, very happy.
Getting it out, I would recommend to any Veteran,
male or female.
Talking about it, getting it out, being amongst others,
it makes a difference.
It makes a difference.
