Gets me thinking about how I've treated my children since my return of my fourth deployment... I've been an asshole (sorry for the language). They are a little young to truly express their thoughts in a letter.. but everyday I see them getting a little more frightened of me.. Maybe I should talk to them, and try getting back to where things used to be. Tell your daughter thanks..

@ SFC Bo Lathrop, I really appreciate what you said, and yes, you should talk to them, but first, talk to a professional. Battle, you gotta deal with that Devil before you can talk to the little people. Get help before your children say "you destroy everything that you touch, I son't want to be part of your life"...I have been seeking and receiving help, I think that is part fo the reason My beautifully Strong daughter was able to finally express this and feel comfortable enough to show it to me. I am trying to get better, and I am getting help. It is a slow process, but for God's sake, start it. It will not get better by ignoring it...Courage to ask for help Sergeant!
