It was probably in roughly 2005, I had been into about

12 years of my career at this point.

I was falling apart.

I didn't want to admit it.

But it was in 2005 that my husband and I

decided to get together, and then that's when I realized

how much this really had impacted me.

When I started to have an intimate relationship

with a man that I actually love, all of these things

started flooding forward and made me realize

that I really hadn't received the help that I needed

in order to maintain interpersonal relationships.

I had dedicated my entire life to the military.

It's all I cared about.

I didn't care if I ever got married.

I wanted to be married to the military.

And you just reach a point where you can't run from it anymore,

and I reached my point when I met my husband,

when we finally got together.
