Here’s why (IMHO) I’ be had a TBI and the stress that followed it for me was being treated like a little kid.. Like they knew what was better (maybe in some sit-reps), like shaving, mom got me a electric razor.. (i’ll Let you figure that one) .. I was getting short regular haircuts .. and when I got home I was trimming the sides up higher..
She’d why you you want to do that, you’re not in anymore.. trying to get me to accept that I might not get back after my TDRL.. I got a little defiant(I knew I could blame that on
My injury). “BECAUSE I CAN[not loud, low voice but determined]) hence the electric razor.. So I adopted to that a while .. it seemed stresslike when I go shopping.. “oh you don’t want that(was at a Military surplus type store). All I wanted was a polo shirt with one of the Command insignias
Embroidered on it... “oh no, where would you wear that?... here’s a nice one with nothing on it”. ..
I had my Pentagon Federal credit union /Visa account . “Oh we need to get your account switched.. to close to home “. (I already did that.. I just kept some money going to PFCU...and keep’g track in my little book.. The docs told them I
Needed some of my own control..
over what I do.. mom thought
Differently.. I had a safe with a key
Back-up.. So at night and times I did ‘t need all my cash available, it was kept in my little safe [about a. 1/3 size of a Military footlocker]).
Mom thought I needed to be civilianized totally.. I had my gear and I find her putting stuff in bags to go to goodwill... of course I put them all away again.. in a locked foot locker.. .. I had 3 of them
and the locks with numbers i’d Set my self.. with key backups of course. .. Combos in a book in safe drawer (note for that in my wallet..
one day mom says it’s nasty out let’s clean your wallet ! Ha-ha.. nice try mom ! .. somehow I had a premonition I was getting better.. I noted that in another notebook for when I talked to my Doc).
I supppose that kind gives some example what I put up with.. There were other Things I felt... and used the number system and breath In And count to a point I felt better then let it out.. Some stress points just kind of went away with time and came back because she suddenly remembered them.. So
She thought she had to remind me I didn’t need s’thing .. I had some Military mags and had bought stuff out of them.. They have a THing where they offer to keep your number secure. So I say no , maybe do it later .. a little later say like 3 months .. and I go back to my account with them but don’t put the last 4 numbers and I get out of there.. they come back with a e-mail and tell me i’m Missing my last 4 numbers.. I reply they’ll get them when I order s’thing.. A few times my account got shut down totally.. and I had to open a new one. Better than having my number stolen.. They had a thing is if I had a running account I got mail telling of additional discount to what was already offered in the advert. “Unfortunately Mr. H.. we can’t give you the additional discount because we didn’t have your whole card number.. .. they got onto my game.., Another stresspoint.. Mom thought she needed more financial control.. So when we were at my Docs She talked to a JAGman in the Hospital’s forensic law section.. (which I didn’t know about until I got a letter to give her some limited power of attorney over my Pentagon Visa account. .. Oh hell no, she just wanted to shut it down and have all the money sent.. at bottom of his letter I said see back..
On back I said at this time I cannot give my signature to this document
My mother’s main intention is to shut this account down since She
Cannot get on it so I would need a co-sign for charge or withdrawal..
She cited to me a Mi. State law about having 2 Credit union accounts is prohibited. I seen nothing in Federal law concern’g this.. So I see nothing illegal with having the 2d account because it is not in Mi. .. Can you check this out for me please. They did... and I was good to go.. I love mom dearly
But s’times I just got to take a few days to let go of the post traumatic stress . Do s’thing that takes so much attention that I get the problem out of me .. So that’s why
I say it’s the injury 1st and the Post traumatic stress is the follow-up...
For myself(IMHO)...
