I ...First thank you to both you and your father. <br /><br />I think my husband wanted to talk with me, but my "fragile" nature lead him to be protective and not share. We are very good communicators in general. I think he has appreciated my new found interest in an important part of his life. I wouldn't say it is painful for him talk about it, just neat that he can share it and your right, much of his time in combat was fun and comical. Of course the bad stuff more than makes up for it.<br /><br />In contract, I could not speak at all about being mugged. I could not say the words. I would try, but I would sit there in a complete silence until I finally, said "I can't say the words". He would just hug me and say ok, then we moved on until I could.agirlandhergunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369419666474343639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-66057419824598172912012-06-30T14:27:15.389-07:002012-06-30T14:27:15.389-07:00My dad never really talked about his time in Vietn...My dad never really talked about his time in Vietnam to me.<br />When I came back from the first Iraq war in 1991 I understood him better... and I've never talked much to my wife about any of my combat tours.

As I have had people reach out to me and I have tried to offer support, I have applied that same support to myself, but part of helping other learn from my mistakes is being honest and talking about them. Much of the way I lived my life was naive. But, you are so kind thank you!!agirlandhergunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369419666474343639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577008135895208329.post-43685358387771626582012-06-29T19:49:44.247-07:002012-06-29T19:49:44.247-07:00We all have a journey.
