BobbyO,

First, congratulations on your son coming home safely. I pray for him and all other soldiers they never have to go back.

Second, for your son's sake, if you have the least suspicion that he is having any sort of PTSD trouble, meet it head on and let him know he is not less of a man by seeking help. He is not alone. I say this from first hand knowledge.

Third, I agree that you should invite your S to the party. She is his mother. Not only does it show you are able to take the high road, but that you are capable of GAL.

And Eric, you are so right. I know how much a simple Thank you from a stranger meant to my H when he returned from Iraq. So, to Bobby's son - Thank You.
