My son was a handsome man who was known for his infectious smile. He tried to get help many times, but as it is with most cases they are scared they will get in trouble because of their addictions. The Army was my son’s life and they failed him. He once told me that his whole unit had been disbanded because of the suicide rate in that group.
I loved my son dearly but I could no longer help him. Everyone saw him having fun when he went out with friends but they did not see him at night when he battled his demons. I was with him alone and i tried to keep his demons at bay. I tried to help him battle those demons. He always called me – just not that night. Hugs and Prayers to all.
