Thanks very much. He was supported by Combat Stress for about 3 years then they said he'd had all the help they could give him. Now he just muddles on (still sleeps on the floor, can't abide being touched) and barely gets through each day.
He won't speak to me about what went on out there, despite being born in a military hospital while I was away in NI for the umpteenth time. No empathy; he says I wouldn't understand.
Breaks my heart.
