Healthy Relationships in First Responders
Having been a First Responder and a girlfriend of First Responders I can write this from experience along with the psychology degree. I have dated and been a fiancee to an Air force Flight engineer, an ICE Supervisor, a firefighter, a deputy sheriff, a patrol officer, an ATF Agent and a FBI Agent. Everyone of these came with a a second family and a second job. It doesn't matter what branch, agency or uniform they wear, there is still an unwritten responsibility that comes with it. I have raised an entire dorm full of Air force guys while getting a college degree and managed to keep them all alive and had to throw in getting their performance apprasisals fixed so they can be promoted for free- not a small feat, added in with raising a USAF K-9 officer's daughter because she did not have a mom- and she was the light of my life even though she would steal my Starbucks on a regular basis.

The problem is that most of us do not balance our lives properly to reach them at the right time.

My philosophy
Skulls And Skins is about a journey. Its the journey of a mentally ill homeless man and his dog, I say mentally ill with a bit a sarcasm as the last two years have proved to me that I just think differently than other people and the mental health services don't understand. I follow the Universal Laws of life. Yes I am homeless, yes I am physically and mentally disabled apparently, and yes I am totally unemployable. But you see, I am now on a mission. You see I belived the bullshit I was been told since I was 14 years old that I was incapable of doing anything alone. But the fact is, that is what it was, bullshit.
