I pray it does not break him down physically.

I've seen Men made of steel get broken by it and just end it. Some days, it's all I can do to stay on top of it, but the thing that brings me back every time is my Grand daughters. I dont want them growing up with their paw-paw going out like that.

It affects different people in different ways and I hold no animosity toward anyone who struggles with it....or have lost the battle.

Kids gonna have nightmares the rest of his life because of that night and his being able to cope is going to rely completely on his own willpower and those close to him to encourage healing instead of ridicule or meaningless anecdotes. Hope for him and his family that he makes it out ok.

...and BTW, thank you for understanding. People talking shit about it tends to piss me off immediately for all the reasons I've stated already.
