My ex told me they split up for good a couple of days ago, over it all.

yeah.. its pretty hard for me to understand.. this guy was a good friend but he's just different now.. i try to be reassuring to him, but he's like a ticking time bomb.
its seems like the only comfort he has now is when he is in iraq or afghanistan.
when he comes home, he cant sit still for very long and he needs to self medicate, but even then he's unpredictable and has wild mood swings.
i can't say a lot here because i'm sure the stuff he showed me isnt stuff i should see, but it makes me wonder how many people are just as messed up as he is...
his situation has really opened my eyes to the damage that people suffer when they are subjected to combat situations..
