: There were days where, I wouldn t say I was suicidal, because I ve never got to that point and I would never do it, but I was aware life would be better dead than alive, because I couldn t see my kids and I was so far from home. My mind went to some major dark places. It was scary to even have those thoughts. I can say it was one of the worst times of my life.
