Transcript

If I have issues, I'll let my wife know, that I'm kind

of on the edge tonight or I had something happen

that kind of made me angry.

So she realizes, she knows that, she's more aware I guess

of my episodes than I am 'cause it's kind of like I have

to go back every so often to talk to my doctors or to go

through another group therapy session because she'll realize

that I am kind of slipping

and I'm falling back into my old ways.

And she'll say, "Hey, I think you need to go down to the VA.

You need to talk to somebody

because your fuse is getting a little shorter

than it used to be."

So she kind of keeps me kind of on track and letting me know

when I need to go get some more help.
