Therapy is probably
the hardest thing to do
because in my mind,
after 40-some years
nobody had any idea what
I went through.
Nobody could relate to me.
I could even talk to some
vets that are my age,
that have been through
similar things.
It still wasn't easy to
talk to them.
So, in my mind I kept
saying, "There's
just no way.
"There's just no way that
this young lady
"is going to have any idea
where I'm coming from."
She didn't have
to be there.
I was there, and she
brought it out.
When I first started
talking to her the
answer is no.
It did not feel good.
I can tell you on the
second session
when we really
started gettin' into
it there was times when
I said, "I'm leaving."
in my mind.
Like, "I've got to get
out of here."
But I didn't, because I
wanted to stay
because I made up my mind
all too late in life.
I made up my mind, "I'm
going to do this.
"I'm going to do
this for me,
"and the people that are
still around me."
That's why I did it.
I just wanted to prove
to myself that
I could handle it, I
could do it.
I knew I needed help,
because I'd tried
many years
and I did do some things
that were right, I guess,
but I knew that there
was somebody out there
that was a hell of a lot
smarter than me.
