I think it's a lot better with my kid. I can feel it in my heart.

Transcript

I was having problems with my kid.

Stuff was bothering me.

Like he leaves a plate on the table and I just get real mad,

real angry, start yelling and screaming.

I was expecting him to do the stuff

like I was expecting the soldiers that I was working with

or how I was doing it, how I was used to in the military.

It's not right in the way I was treating him

and I had no idea what was wrong, until I realized that way

after on treatment that it was PTSD and there were ways

to fix that, ways to go around the anger

and all that, and it's working.

I think it's a lot better with my kid.

I can feel it in my heart, it's a lot better.

It wasn't like that, it was bad.

But now it is, my wife, my kid, everything is better.

The PTSD is bad, but if you get treatment it works.
