21. My ex was a Vietnam vet.

20+ years after the fact, he would wake up in a cold sweat, crying, after unexpected nightmares reliving the experience.

He would never discuss anything with me other than to joke about the heroin they all used to numb the emotions. Said I would never understand. He is right. I could empathize, but I don't think I would have ever understood.
