best friend's head by inches. It left him deaf in his left ear for life.

Later, my fmr-brother rushed into our mother's house and rummaged around in the bathroom closet looking for his sawed-off shotgun, which my mother had found and hidden.

He pulled his .45 on her, demanded
that she get his shotgun or he'd shoot her with the .45 he was aiming at her chest.

Counting down from 3, after 2, I physically put myself between them and tried to talk him down.

He then gave *me* a countdown from 3 to get out of his way, and adjusted his aim towards *my*...
heart.

My mother retrieved his shotgun and threw it at him, and he left.

I'd been self-medicating my PTSD for 28 years with alcohol until my doctor told me that I had a month to live, from liver failure.

I quit drinking (w/o AA), and recovered, my doctor's diagnosis/prognosis
were wrong, but I was sober by then.

I just last week had a argument with my ex-brother, who claimed that it never happened.

"Alcohol is a hallucinogen!" he asserted w/o basis.

We'd been thru the same discussion before, but my mother was alive back then and supported my...
account of the event.

Last week, the topic came up and he again had forgotten that it ever happened, and reasserted his theory about alcohol and hallucinations.

Four hours into the argument, he agreed that it happened, but said that it was all our mother's fault for hiding his
shotgun, and told me that since it had happened so long ago, that I should have let it go.

I'd forgiven him long ago for the incident, but he's been spreading lies about my mental health, accusing me of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome".

I should add that he's only
recently had a Swastika tattoo removed from his arm.

Wounds heal, but scars never go away.

That applies to psychological wounds, too.

I support @Alyssa_Milano and everything she supports.

Unlike PUTIN, who hates her for her efforts to prevent Kavanagh from getting confirmed.
