We've recently started in on some counseling for him, for
me, and for us.
Because it's a trickle-down effect.
At first he thought it was just about him and he could
deal with it.
And this isn't anything about you or the boys,
this all about me.
But it took awhile for him to see that there were kind of
devastating effects on myself and on our kids now.
And he didn't want that.
He doesn't want that.
He wants, just like any man, wants the very
best for his family.
And it took a lot because he thought he was strong enough
to handle it.
But he realizes that actually the wise, manly thing to do is
to go get some help because we all need help sometimes.
And it doesn't make us any less of a Marine, in his case.
Or any less of a man.
Or any less of a human.
Humanness is supporting one another and working through
those really traumatic situations so that you can
power through and move forward with a much more pleasant,
healthy, whatever norm is for you and your
family, kind of life.
