I'm betting that most of us have PTSD and just ignore it most of the time, mine just got to the point where I couldn't ignore it anymore. I too loved the work and the feeling that I was contributing. That being said I love the life I've built here and the fact that my son is sitting here talking to me (squeaking really), that I have a great supportive husband and a life that is more peaceful than I ever imagined possible. I think that those of us who stay in are admirable but those of use who depart for a different life are just as admirable. Restarting and rebuilding is hard and scary but has the potential to be very rewarding. I hope you find it rewarding and are enjoying the peace. And I'm glad I wasn't 'there' in Dec. 2009 as well. it was a horrible thing for such a small organization. Brian,

Not surprising about your admitting to PTSD...I'm pretty sure I have it as well. After we met, I served three more rotations in AF...one in Khowst. I gave it up and your website has inspired me to not look back, but look forward. I find myself, sitting alone at 0200 on a drilling rig (drilling gas wells in Pennsylvania), wondering what it would be like if I were still engaged in the fight...because I was very happy doing that. The answer is: who knows? Life is always what you make it and I am so happy that you were not 'there' in December 2009. It did worry me so. I hope to hear from you.

I agree it's hard to find the right place to show artwork and I've been surprised at what people find edgy. I've shown in places where they want no abstract art... but then who defines abstract? Some of my work can be slightly abstract but have realistic references... does that make it abstract? Don't get disheartened! I personally believe that showing art is similar to how some of my high school friends got dates. They asked 10 girls out assuming someone would say yes at some point. So keep putting your work out there and someone will not only enjoy it but ask for more. Erin,
