[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he have PTSD if he was deployed?[/quote] Yes. He has a slew of issues but won’t address them because he’s “old school” and doesn’t believe in therapy or mental health. He’s very much, “buck up, shut up, and deal with it.” It’s upsetting to watch. [/quote] Depending on what career field he is and his clearance he may not be able to get mental health treatment without risking his career. Its not that simple and even if he sees a therapist, it doesn't mean much as most therapist aren't very good nor is military health care (we use it and its horrible right now). Maybe have more empathy and support. Find things he can do with the kids. How about archery? You don't have to shoot at animals and can do target shooting, for example. How about a dad/kid dinner out at Dad's favorite place? Board games? He missed a lot of their childhood so he will have less of a connection and a very different level of involvement. [/quote]
