wow. 5 years, thats a long time! I just pray to God he comes back to hmself and goes to counseling ect. As I said, last time they said he withdrew but wasn't in a loving relationship like he is now and he was back to himself besides some anxiety and probably dreams here and there, until they said he was going back, in which I saw him breakdown alot with me before leaving to go back so anything could have triggered a change again and a pushing back of loved ones. He is keeping in contact with his family though, unlike me and his friends here (but we have mutual friends so he may be avoiding the emotional topics). But he is just not real talkative with his family. I can tell they are confused and in the dark too. I think its been like, I am ok, how is everyone? I am fine, love you...you know? So I am just trying to have faith he will pull through again but I know the more traumatic experiences can make the recovery longer and longer......thank you.
