Thanks so much Brent for making such a rich film that for me not only gave tremendous insight into Guy’s journey with PTSD but the impact on the whole family! Although none of his sons spoke of it directly or his wife Laura, I feel they are all carrying a piece of Guy’s trauma inheritted as intergenerational trauma. This is such a universal story in so many ways. I am the grand-daughter of a WWI vet whose experiences in wartime were never processed and I carry the legacy of direct intergenerational trauma along with at least 3 of my cousins as our boundaries were crossed sexually and emotionally as children over a series of years, in secret, that would become suppressed memory for each of us until we were young adults. My grandfather never spoke of the events which I am quite certain included his own rape and it is our generation who work to speak what was never spoken, to feel what festered unseen inside. Congratulations to Guy for his dedication to his healing and to his wife for standing by her husband with painful confusion, empathy and fears of her own. May their stories be part of our collective healing of wartime and intergenerational trauma! For all those in healing with PTSD or who might feel they have something in common with Guy’s story, I recommend the work of Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D. “The Body Keeps the Score”

This is so wonderful to see. It shows the real struggle that so many returning vets face as they try to resume a “normal” life after being subjected to some very traumatizing things. How could that not change someone? So rare to see the family stay together as a unit too.
