RE: Diary of an Unbroken Child: My Autobiography Chap. IV

My uncle, was a vet, he never talked about it, and if you bring up the subject, he will simply leave. We all knew he had some ghosts chasing him after. He cannot even attend the 4th of July events because the explosions are still too much for him.

Sort:  

I was like that for 20 years... I fought that war and the ghosts and dreams that came along with it with drugs and alcohol. It was only after I found another vet that I trusted and opened up and talked about it that I began to heal. The dreams, ghosts and scars never go away, but at least now I can live with them. I've been clean and sober for 30 years now. I'll pray for your uncle.
