Күн бұрын

Brandon is an American retired U.S. Marine veteran who served 13 years and three tours of Iraq and Afghanistan. He left the military after being injured in the line of duty. Like many veterans, Brandon had trouble adjusting to civilian life. Disconnected from his brothers in arms, struggling with PTSD, and facing an uphill battle with injuries, he turned to heroin. After going through many drug rehabs, Brandon found his remedy at Tree House Recovery. This team-centered program, where he now works as a counselor. His goal is to help every client leave Tree House with their own band of brothers, so they never struggle alone.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
