So I had so much hate in
my heart from what happened
to me in Iraq, and here
I am back in Rochester,
23 years old, living
with my parents again.
I hated everything and I hated everyone.
And with me being unstable,
me not knowing the extent
of my injuries, and me not
knowing what was my life gonna be
like at 23 years old now as a civilian,
I wasn't, I wasn't even safe to be around
because I was suicidal in anything
that resembled the environment
that I was at in Iraq,
it kind of took me right
back to that moment.
And I was afraid of
myself for a little while,
and that was someplace
that I knew I couldn't develop
relationships with people,
especially my little sisters.
I couldn't be around them
because I didn't want them
to see that side of me.
