The Survivor's Path
.jpg)
As a 19-year-old U.S. Army recruit, Ron Carter was assaulted by a non-commissioned officer. He did not report it. Untreated PTSD followed him for decades.
He wrote The Monster Inside of Me to reach MST survivors who never come forward, especially men, and to reduce veteran suicide. His mission is clear: awareness, portable records, and accountability (BARES), and pointing survivors to help.
