My son, a Marine vet with PTSD, sought help while active and was denied. Honorably discharged 2 months ago, still waiting for a call back from the VA. 2 weeks ago after being intentionally triggered, had a violent episode which resulted in his arrest. He begged deputies to just kill him, that he just wanted to die. Tackled and tazed, cuffed and placed in the car. He got his hands to his front before leaving the scene. The deputy knew it and left my son like that for transport. They conversed for a while in route and about 12 miles away from the jail my son went quiet. When deputy went to assist my son out of the car he found him unconscious as he had tied a shoelace around his neck and to the cage in the car. Hospitalized for 3 days then booked into jail. Where he was isolated and quarantined until a few days ago, making his thoughts that much worse. Not receiving any help at all I have spent soooo many hours calling every resource given to me to help my son to just hit brick walls. Its disgusting how non existent they are. My son sits in jail feeling abandoned and forgotten by the Corps he loves. He needs to be in a hospital getting help. Had he received the help he sought and was denied none of this would have happened. Failed miserably by his comand. Would you happen to know of any resources.? I don't want him released. Just need guided to advocates or treatment...something anything
omg i am so sorry to hear about that,,,, i definitely want to help in any way I can! I personally don't have any info that could help but I'm sure that my buddy mat does, please feel free to reach out to him on Instagram @kodiakknows ! Praying for your son and your family.
Omg! Thank you so much for your response. I was/am so desperate for information, i copy/pasted that onto about 50 videos about PTSD and you are the only one to respond. I will definitely reach out to Matt. My son made another attempt in jail, probably as i was posting that comment. Luckily the jailer "just had to check on him" as it wasnt normal cell check time and was found him before it was too late. He is in the hospital now and doing ok, eager for help. We appreciate you and your prayers and the info too.
