Unfortunate Incident With My Daughter - Your Help Is Appreciated

My family experienced same, only both young people died (murder-suicide) :(

PTSD + military overprescription is real.

Most of my fellow vets are on 6+ prescription meds, meds with a KNOWN history of causality vis-a-vis violent outbursts.

Pharma won't let anyone bring this (successfully) to court.

I am so, so sorry for what happened to your family, and amazed that she survived. I feel terrible for both of them.

Yes, he is. Unfortunately, he is still rambling incoherently and not making any sense as of today and can't even be interviewed about the incident. He's been charged with attempted 1st degree murder, aggravated assault and battery with intent to cause grave bodily harm, criminal threat, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Apparently he was using heroin and no one even knew about it.

Do you know if the disability was from his branch of service or from the Department of Veterans affairs? What branch of service was he in?
Did he keep in contact with anyone?

Because of the nature of service in these recent conflicts - many Veterans are suffering in addition to PTSD - brain injuries. In all honesty if he is still babbling in jail I hope they consider medical possibilities and look at his brain.

I would think it might help your daughter in her healing if she knew if something like this was in play. Is she in shock?

Its important she get support right away. She is going to need a lot of emotional support.

I thought you were her dad?

I was thinking about the murder suicides that happened when an Army Unit came back years ago, I think 3 events in one returned Unit. - It was such a big deal they were trying to do education about the issues. I think they thought there was a tie in with anti malaria drugs -

I hate to say this as a Combat Veteran myself (OIF) but there are a lot of problems still rising to the surface - a lot of us came home a lot more damaged then it appears at first glance.

I think the meds, the vaccines and what ever other exposures - for example my unit worked with DU. So many I deployed with are suffering now from Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons, Sjogrens, etc. - autoimmune diseases that can alter a person with lesions in the brain.

Yes there may have been street drugs involved - but there could be something much bigger going on.

Its a miracle your daughter survived it really is.

Yes it is a miracle. She has a strong will to live.

I'm not sure where the disability came from, but I know he followed up with the VA, so maybe from them. He was infantry in the Army. I'm not sure about whether he kept contact with anyone or not. I personally know so little about his time in Afghanistan because I didn't want to press him. I do know that fireworks really triggered his PTSD badly.

She's not in shock, but she is in so much pain that she doesn't want to address the psychological aspect as yet because she doesn't think she can handle the physical pain that would be caused by becoming emotional and crying. Someone is with her at all times, whether it is me or her father. She knows that she needs to get therapy eventually to deal with this. The whole extended family is just trying to do our best to be there and support her.

She really does. After he went screaming out of the apartment she crawled to his phone and called 911. It truly is amazing that she survived and isn't worse than she already is.

I am not saying it is an excuse, it is just provided as explanation for how something so awful could have come to pass. I don't know for certain it was related to the PTSD, but can only speculate. We really have no idea what went so wrong with him. When my daughter entered the apartment he was rambling incoherently and not making any sense whatsoever. She had just spoken with him a couple of hours before and he was normal. He hasn't been coherent since the incident.

Thanks for all the great advice and kind words everyone. It's been a long day, so I'm headed to bed.

Please feel free to share this on Facebook and Twitter. The more eyes that see this the better.

Have a good rest of your night everyone!

YES, you nailed it with the ref also to autoimmune diseases.

The murder-suicide in our family was absolutely 100% unbelievable. We are talking the sweetest, most decent midwestern boy; adored his (absolutely gorgeous) new wife, was in the process of adopting her little boy, whom he loved dearly.

He was SO pumped on life, literally. Loved serving (his wife was also military), loved life, loved his parents and little cousins, loved his brother, loved working out with his military buddies, loved everything.

When you see someone like that do this, you know something is up.

My family can't handle talking about it, but I know this is BS. This is not just "an incident." This relates to whatever is going on in our military today with the meds, the vaccinations, hell--probably the Manchurian candidate BS, and more.

I don't have a copy personally but will see if I can get one and get it posted there. Thanks!

Hey GLP family, your help would be greatly appreciated with regard to an incident involving my daughter.

Below is the basic background with regard to what happened. I've set up a GoFundMe and it would be greatly appreciated if you guys could share this to get this in front of as many eyes as humanly possible!

Any financial help you can provide in whatever amount you feel you can spare is also greatly appreciated! Understandably, in these trying financial times if you can't afford to help, prayers are also greatly appreciated!

BACKGROUND

My daughter was recently attacked by her boyfriend who suffered from PTSD due to his military service in Afghanistan. She had received a phone call at work about his making some strange phone calls and had gone home to check on him. Within minutes of entering the apartment, he punched her in the back of the head and then proceeded to stab her with a butcher knife 5 times - 4 to the back and one to the upper chest/shoulder area. He also bit off her ear so severely that it was hanging on only by the lower lobe.

She spent nearly a week in the hospital due to the severe and deep stab wounds and also had to deal with nicks to her lungs, blood transfusions, a surgical procedure by a plastic surgeon to reattach the ear, and has suffered a partial loss of function to her left arm due to a nerve bundle being severed in the attack. There is nothing that can be done for the bundle other than physical therapy/occupational therapy and they are unsure at this time what percentage of loss of function will be permanent.

She will require an additional surgery by the plastic surgeon to further return the ear to a normal appearance and will require up to 6 months of physical therapy/occupational therapy. She is unable to work and we have no idea when she will be able to return to work due to her inability to use her left arm fully at this time.

She’s a single mom who now faces loss of income; has a $700+ bill with her apartments for hazmat cleanup, not to mention eviction fees that she has incurred due to no fault of her own, moving expenses and storage expenses to store her things; serious medical bills that she has already incurred; serious medical bills for her future treatment; and she will need to undergo counseling to deal with the aftermath of this tragedy.

sue the attacker in civil court so he can spend
the rest of his life paying your daughter three quarters of his paycheck.

Military was one of the first sources to deploy LSD in the 1950s, and the concoctions have only gotten more deadly. A sudden, catastrophic alteration of psychological state, plus violence and aphasia, could definitely track with LSD's awful modern incarnations. Something to keep an eye on.

He is in jail for attempted murder.
There are not going to be any paychecks to garnish.

Form a plan, op.
He needs to be isolated and helped; /meds, counseling, etc.
This does not exclude any course of action from law enforcement.
Your daughter needs the love and support of her family and may want to join an abuse survivors group for women in similar circumstance. They will have better ideas based on mutual experience.

She might want to move.
Any contact should be only allowed in a controlled environment, like in the presence of law enforcement.

Get with a women's survivor group first. They will have the knowledge and experience to give you the best advice.

sounds like bath salts..
