James Meuer, one of the bravest individuals we have had the chance to speak with, shares his story in his publication Damaged. His publication date was in 2013, it was expected for men to be strong, and in control. One reading from 2013 said, "Men are trained from a young age to deny their true feelings. "Murrow, D. (2013, December 4). Why men don't share their feelings (part 1). A Few Grown Men. Retrieved October 28, 2022, from https://www.patheos.com/blogs/afewgrownmen/2013/12/why-men-dont-share-their-feelings-part-1/
James's story has helped us and our family. James has been an inspiration; Lee now has the determination and courage to speak about his struggles with the same shared hope as James, to free others from the internal battle. There is much more we could say here on this page, we highly recommend anyone who is or knows of someone living with PTSD, to take a chance and read Damaged. If ever anyone needs to be heard, feels diminished, you are not alone, please reach out.
