Connor Martin: Personality Changes After Second Deployment

He had come back from Iraq and again I was relatively young at the time so I don’t know all of the details but I think that’s, I think that’s about the time that he had some exposure to the IEDs and had some, had some health issues as a result of that and we were starting to see some of that PTSD side effects at that time. And yeah I guess you kind of saw some more of the irritability or the hostility and kind of the seclusion he put himself into or I don’t know where he was just always, he was always happy to be a life of the party type guy you know or spend time with people after that second tour is kind of when he started to go back into his shell a little bit. I didn’t have my brother back the way, the way I had grown up with him so I do have a bit of a recollection of him going this way. And you know just a few experiences I had with him, he was married at the time so we weren’t living together but the few interactions was pretty, I don’t know, he just wasn’t quite himself at that point in time.
