PTSD pretty much caused me two divorces

and a lot of separation between family because they didn't

understand the anger and the, I call it survivor's guilt.

Being the fact that I was over there for so long,

and coming home and a lot of people that I knew close

that didn't, and friends from Santa Rosa that didn't, it was

kind of a really, really a guilt trip on myself for a while.

So I kind of yelled at them and didn't know how to communicate

very well about it because they didn't understand.
