Life with Jennifer before her treatment was,

it was very chaotic, it was very,

I don't know exactly how to describe it, but

she came to a point where she basically couldn't function

in society like a normal person would be able to function.

And to try to figure out why, or even to know why,

that it's PTSD, was still very frustrating, for example,

because you want to help, and you want her to be a part

of your life, but she was pulling back from myself,

the community, and everything as a whole.

So that, it was tough.
