I was at my low point. My wife told me she wanted a divorce. I had no reaction. My ptsd and depression caused me to feel nothing. By the time I realized what was happening she had already started sleeping around and was adamant about not giving me a chance to fix it. I wanted to die. It took my boss, a combat vet himself, dragging me to the Vet Center here in ( removed for anonymity ) in order for me to get help. I sat there in a office and cried. I was told a harsh truth by the therapist, you will not get her back until you change. I stopped crying and listened to him speak. I became focused on changing. After a few weeks of therapy and the gym I had the realization that I didnt want her back. At my lowest point she left me when I needed her the most. She doesnt deserve me when I am at my best again. I share this because there is hope. I felt hopeless. I thought that I lost my family and everything I loved. But what I gained by overcoming this obstacle is more quality time with my son. I have gotten comfortable in my own skin and have started learning to love myself. Its always darkest before the dawn. I now love my life. I love my son more than ever before. And I now have a woman that likes me for me. Believe me guys, therapy works if you want it to work. Talking about it makes it easier. It is possible to feel normal again. I am proof of that.
