Working through the moral injury
definitely improved my
personal life,
my relationship with my wife,
my family.
I was no longer
just focusing on
the self-loathing,
the self-doubt, the hatred.
It was
it almost allowed.
It allowed me to kind of
do more things and
feel like I deserve life again,
that I deserve good things.
Because for so long
I walked around thinking
that all I deserved
was worse than life,
or if something bad
would happen
of course, I deserve it,
you know? And,
you know, through time
I started feeling more and more
like when somebody invites me
to do something,
they actually want to hang out
with me,
that I deserve to be there.
And I might actually do
some of those things.
So I was less isolated,
got out and started fishing
and hunting more again, hanging
out with other people and just,
you know, realizing
that I don't have to, you know,
I don't deserve the worse than
life as much as I think I do.
