Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 5m 26d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 25/04/11 06:03 AM Share Posted 25/04/11 06:03 AM My old man never spoke about Vietnam till I was 13 and we all went away on a fishing trip (Vietnam mates as well)... Wasn't till then I realized what it was like over there for them... I knew it had f*cked with him... When I was about 10 I woke up at 3am hearing a bang... He was "trying to shoot gooks" standing on the bed... He fell over mum and put his head through the bathroom wall... Right through...At one Footy match... We were walking out and a Collingwood supporter spilt his last beer... His mates all stood back... And dad cleaned up 5 Collingwood supporters... He was a scary man...Only after years of psych's etc... Is he close to normal again... Still can't stand heights or enclosed spaces (they remind him of the underground trails in Vietnam)... But slowly I'm getting my dad back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
