My mom's finally said," I feel like I have my son back."

Christopher D. Goehner, US Navy 2003 - 2006, talks about how his PTSD affected his loved ones.

Transcript

I went on a car trip with my mom and she talked

about how I came back from my first deployment

and said I was very confident, I had direction, I had a purpose.

I came back from my second deployment

and she didn't know who I was.

She didn't understand, didn't know how to talk to me anymore.

Me and my mom talked about anything and I thought she did,

but she said she really didn't.

She didn't know how to.

She didn't know how to relate.

We were never the same.

But luckily going through different treatments,

my mom's finally said, "I feel like I have my son back."
