A soldier's homecoming - Moving from conflict to community
« H » email link

Resources exist to help deal with effects of PTSD

ST. GEORGE - Despite the signs, 57-year-old Steve Cantonwine spent the last 34 years believing his symptoms were simply part of his personality - one that had been steeled by the rigors and scenes of the Vietnam War.

"To me, there wasn't anything wrong with me. I was a Marine. I didn't believe in post-traumatic stress disorder. 'They' were just a bunch of people that were whining and crying for sympathy," said Cantonwine.

But his wife, KayAnne, always knew something had a grip on him, though she didn't have words to explain their experiences. So the two blindly worked their way through, daily facing and unknowingly dealing with the symptoms of PTSD.

"I don't think you can see and do the kinds of things you have to do in war to survive and not be affected in some way. They can't ever go back to the way things were, too many things have happened. But there's healing that takes place," said KayAnne.

As soldiers now serving in today's foreign wars prepare to return home, families like the Cantonwines, along with the medical community and military officials, are sharing their knowledge and experiences with PTSD and offering resources and education to soldiers, their families and the community.
