Track Palin needs some serious help. Pleaded with Todd to shoot him then beat Todd up.

38. That is why I suspect it - and often those people self-medicate between drugs and booze...

Which it sounds like he has been doing for most of his adult life....

I can't stand Sarah Palin and everything she stands for, but as a parent and somebody who understands how painful it is dealing with a family member who suffers from bi-polar, its a horrible and stressful situation I wouldn't wish on anyone.

And in this situation as described, it sounds like they have all been dealing with (and hiding) the seriousness of the situation with Track.

He likely was suffering from it before joining the military and then going to Iraq and the events he experienced there, only brought on PTSD and other conditions that made the situation worse.

Too many of our veterans and soldiers are suffering and then come home and the war never stops for them...and if they had a mental illness or mood disorder to begin with, it only gets worse....
