I am associating him with my issue. He said something skeevy and it triggered me. I am going to an IC to treat it which is why It hurt me that my husband brought him over to my house.. we had set a boundary of a year away from him so I can treat and get over the association. Luckily I am doing better and I was able to not give him the scene he wanted.
-I know he feels lost without the Marines -I know he has troubles with things he saw in both Iraq and Afghanistan. -This was his 10 yr reunion with his old unit -I know he is reeling from all the suicides in his old unit -He was medically separated after 10 yrs of service
which is why I can understand why he broke. It does not make it any less painful though. I am doing ok. I no longer feel the need to constantly text or keep in contact.
