DOUG-ROBIN BARBER INTERVIEWS THOUGHT BOMB RADIO 1-2-06

This interview was conducted on 1-2-2006. Doug and Robin Barber had officially been divorced for two days. In this first part I interview Doug about the divorce and the readjustment problems that led to it. I go into extensive detail about the effects of long term separation and the PTSD and problems of coping in regards to the end of the marriage of 11 years.

I then interview Robin Barber about how it was like to see Doug go off to war and then come home a changed man. She discusses the stain of the separation and also the demise of the relationship after the homecoming.

In this part Robin and Doug are both interviewed. They discuss many more details about the stress of the deployment and also the day to day details that caused a lot of the fear and constant worry to build up.

Both Doug and Robin discussed some of the healing they were trying to undergo, and how they would be able to face the future now that they were divorced.
Doug finishes the interview with some insights into just how badly the war destroyed his entire life. He discusses how he finally realizes what a nightmare the last to ears have been, and how he was seeing some sign of relief in sight.
