I'm married for the
fourth time now to a

wonderful lady

and I lost a wife to
cancer back in 2006 but

two other marital
relationships that I

had prior to that

were pretty rough on my
spouses, pretty rough.

My oldest daughter did
not live with me full-time

so thankfully she was
spared a lot of that

growing up, but she still
got to see enough of it

so that she knew there
was something going on,

there was something
wasn't right.

Dad had problems.

My current daughter,
she's 16,

and I've had things
fairly under control

for several years now, so
she doesn't really,

you know,

(laughs) see a lot of the
PTSD coming out,

but she knows it's there.
