Paul came home from the army broken, but still breathing. I thought love would be enough to bring him back. I was wrong-but I will never stop telling his story."
I welcomed my son back from military service, but knew he was a changed young man. What I didn't expect was the daily battle to prove-to doctors, to institutions, to the world-that his pain was real.
After surviving a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Paul struggled with paranoia, erratic behavior, and despair. Though I fought tirelessly to get him help, I was often met with skepticism and cold dismissal. The system labeled him a malingerer. But I saw a wounded soldier, a son fighting an invisible war.
This heart-wrenching memoir is my account of love and the quiet failures of a system meant to heal. I tell the story with raw honesty and unwavering tenderness, it captures the devastating realities of mental illness, the courage of caregiving, and the enduring power of love.
If you've ever fought for someone you love, questioned the limits of your strength, or been let down by the institutions meant to protect us, this story will stay with you long after the last page.
A tribute. A testimony. A truth too important to ignore.
