Thank you.
Was working with an active duty last night who came home after two tours to a broken marriage, began to heavily drink and now going through a divorce a few years later.
His commanding officer brought him in because he cleaned out his desk, left cryptic messages and disappeared for a few days. He was extremely guarded and depressed to the point he couldn’t function but resistant to help.
I knew exactly where he was at so I shared the story of my son and both started welling up in tears.
He became voluntary to receive inpatient psychiatric treatment. The story of my son may have saved this man from taking his own life.
And that’s what I do, personally and professionally. Use my experience, education and professional licenses to help others.
