    I’m a US Army combat wounded veteran.
    I’ve been struggling with shit too man.
    The VA, all they do is pump you full of drugs. And I really never found it useful talking to any of them too.
    I’ll have to look them up. Good job pushing forward Marine.

    As Marines no matter what, WE DONT BEHAVE WITH DISHONNER(PERIOD) DRUGS, UNWARRANTED VIOLENCE, NOT TAKING CARE OF YOUR FAMILY. YOU KNOW WHAT WE MEAN! YES I KNOW PAIN! GOD BLESS ALL OUR VETERANS! THEY SACRAFICED SO MUCH FOR A COUNTRY WITH PEOPLE THAT DON'T DESERVE IT.

    Really inspiring story. Kind of amazing how one phone call can make so much difference.
    Also, look at that deadlift! Picks it up like it's nothing! 6:20

    I suffer from PTSD but I used to live a life of Crime but I still grew up with PTSD from my father who was a war vet from Iraq and he was in the elite brigade. And myself I grew up in crime and my cousin recently got locked up for murder.

    Thank you for your service. I wish I knew about this before. I lost my son to suicide four months ago. He was in the Army. 🥹

    If you’ve never taken a pain pill and have an opinion you probably shouldn’t speak your opinion

    Which tree house location did you attend? Does the VA pay for this as my son is a combat vet with two tours in Afghanistan and is addicted to heroin and he is 100% service related disability

    • @TreeHouseRecovery
      @TreeHouseRecovery  ปีที่แล้ว

      The California location. We can help you explore what is possible with your VA benefits. Call us. Let’s go over your options. 855-202-2138

      I hope your son has gotten the help he’s needed. ❤ I was there I went to Afghanistan and I was addicted to pills and heroin as well.. I am sober for 6 years now. I am hoping all is well with your son. I remember how my mom felt. ❤❤❤

    • @respiess
      @respiess 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nope. He hasn’t gotten help. I can’t make him do something he doesn’t want to.

      I just watched this video again. it's been about two years since I attended Treehouse at 53 years old it kicked my ass. It was probably one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

  • @breonaharrison732
    @breonaharrison732 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ahhhhhhhhhh I get it I do have masculine energy because the advice you giving men was the advice I was given by my father to avoid dusty men. I’m 46 no children and have no desire to be married. I want to have a partnership. There are very few adults getting married in 2022 in the biblical sense anyway. In the words of my dad “ Most men don’t have a relationship with GOD.!”
    You snd KS have good content but the receiver of your information is taking it the wrong way, They are treating women unkind and disrespectfully. I see you trying my brother. My degrees don’t help a man but they help ME and that’s the result of fallen Kings.

    I have been debating it lately going back in I really want to do infantry to try something new out this time however I'm not sure if my 32 year old body will be able to handle it but iv also heard stories about dudes who were my age and passed infantry no problem. I did 25b tech support and feel as though I did very well.
    Should I suck it up and go back in and do infantry?

    Wasn’t he on A&E’s intervention? Sure looks like the same guy tgat was an alcoholic that went to recovery in Texas. Yes! It’s definitely him. Just a different story.

    • @TreeHouseRecovery
      @TreeHouseRecovery  ปีที่แล้ว

      No, you are incorrect. Alot of vets have similar stories and struggle from the same issues however this Marine was never on “intervention”. Fender became healthy and successful at THR. If you need help, call us anytime.

    I’m not saying PTSD doesn’t exist because I’ve been an Explosion and shot six times, for years I thought I had PTSD until I realized I have good dreams and I have bad dreams, I had to come to grips on what happened to me and why it happened.
