<p>This continuing story describes my life after active duty and while in the navy reserves. It&rsquo;s the story of my struggle to make a normal life for myself all the while unaware that I was suffering from depression ADD and dyslexia.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Despite my family of origin placing me into foster care at age twelve I attempted on numerous occasions to reach out to them wanting to be accepted and loved by them. I failed to achieve this so I&rsquo;ve quit trying.&nbsp; It only causes me more depression.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some verses from 2 Corinthians chapter 4 sum up my feelings about that part of my life:</p><p>&ldquo;But we have this treasure in earthen vessels &hellip; We are hard pressed on every side yet not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed.&rdquo;</p>
