I felt like the only way I could find my identity again was through relationships with women.

It's difficult for anybody who's been

in the military to come back

and just carry on like
nothing has happened

because you're just trained differently

and you've got a life experience

that just doesn't flow right back into it.

So it was difficult,

but one of the things as a 20, 21,

22 year old young man is the desire

for relationship and romance
and sex and whatever.

I ended up being very promiscuous,

I guess is the best way to put it

because I felt like the only way

I could find my identity again

was through relationships with women

that I was all right,

that I was normal, that nothing
was really wrong with me.
