A 16 yoa girl was alone in the home...
Through family members we have learned the grandfather wants them all to commit suicide so they can be re-united with the 2 yoa in Heaven.

Well, by my reckoning, that is at least three people whose lives you have directly saved, and probably the family as well. (Excellent use of a taser, too, exactly the sort of niche they fit.)
This community would fall apart if it were not for people like you, even if the ones you directly deal with are too overwhelmed to see it and the ones hiding behind you "don't want to get involved".
Thank you, Anon, for dealing with the car wrecks and the distraught relatives and the vicious dogs and all the other crap, the lawyers and the media and the bureaucracy too.
ANY person would be upset by all that stuff, especially the house with the dog incident. That goes double for a veteran. You are entitled to be stressed and upset by that. Can you take a few days off to just sit in the woods and have a good long hard cry? You're such a real man that you could do that and not be any less of a man, you know.
