I hope they did get better. My grandfather drank himself to death because of PTSD and the VA had no interest in hearing what I had to say. He had a check up where he was given the all clear and he died of a heart attack a week later. He was drunk in the office and told the doctor he barely ever drinks but like.... Seriously, he was slurring, smelled like beer and I had to push him in in a wheelchair because the walk would be too much for his heart. He popped nitro like candy. That was 2005. I was a teenager so I didn't realize he needed an ER and a LOT more than the VA could give so I asked for another appointment with a different doctor but he got belligerent so I left. I had my aunt follow up with them but I wish they had intervened somehow. I don't blame them for his death whatsoever, I was just very upset I left under the impression he was doing okay as far as they were concerned. Maybe they saw him as a lost cause but he was the only adult in my life that was supportive and caring and I was not ready to give up on him. Anyway, you don't need my life story, I'm just hoping they're better than that now.
