The wives of three U.S. military veterans who served in Afghanistan describe the emotions and fear about their husbands' mental health after the Taliban takeover.
"My first instinct as his caregiver was, is he OK, is this going to trigger him into a downfall where we end up with him in the emergency room again because of another suicide attempt?" Eves said."I was on high alert, making sure that he is OK."
"I think that's what's tough," Moore said."I think we walk on pins and needles, wondering if, OK when is it too much?" "When I look around home, what really gets me is my 10-year-old and how she is feeding off his anxiety, and and that hurts my heart more than anything," Moore said."I would not be in a good mental health place without the caregivers around me," Moore said.
The three women also shared what they want to hear from government officials from the federal level all the way down to the local level.
