Torque & Trauma is a raw, darkly honest memoir about childhood abuse, PTSD, and the lasting impact trauma has on men long after they've learned how to hide it.

Written by a retired U.S. Air Force mechanic, this military memoir explores how unresolved childhood trauma follows men into adulthood -- into careers, marriage, fatherhood, and identity. It's not a self-help book. It's a true story about survival, denial, dark humor, and the hard truth that "manning up" doesn't fix mental health.

After twenty years of military service maintaining F-15 and F-22 fighter jets, Chad Calahan knew pressure, responsibility, and discipline. What he didn't understand -- until later -- was how childhood abuse and PTSD were shaping his reactions, relationships, and coping mechanisms behind the scenes.

This trauma memoir speaks directly to men who carry invisible wounds:

? Men struggling with PTSD, anxiety, or suppressed trauma

? Veterans adjusting to life after military service

? Readers of military memoirs, mental health books, and men's nonfiction

? Anyone raised in abuse, neglect, or emotional chaos

This book is not inspirational fluff.

It's an unfiltered mental health memoir that blends dark humor with brutal honesty -- written for men who've been told to stay quiet, tough it out, or bury the past.

Torque & Trauma doesn't offer quick fixes or motivational clichés. It offers recognition, truth, and proof that healing from trauma is possible -- even if it's uncomfortable, imperfect, and sarcastic along the way.

If you're looking for a memoir about PTSD, childhood trauma, military life, or men's mental health that actually tells the truth, this book is for you.
