[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 498792, member: 3444"] I tend to agree with TM and IC on this issue. Another point is that people generally had family or extended family to support them through the transition. And when they came back, their communities were also very supportive. And if they didn't have a support network? Alcoholism was an easy band-aid for their inner chaos. Though there are lots more services available for vets -- it seems this family did not push hard enough to get him help. But what do you do when you've got a young adult who's resistant to keeping their mental health appointment? Not much you CAN do. Another issue is this family's culture and how much did that play into the situation? Mental illness is a huge elephant-in-the-room for a lot of ethnic groups. It's just horribly tragic all the way around, and there's no doubt he's looking at the death penalty. [/QUOTE]
