The Quiet War: Tim on the Fight That Started When the Bullets Stopped

For The Hayters: The Stories We Survive · Jul 5, 2026 · 1h 3m

TW: PTSD, suicidal ideation, self-harm, alcohol use, and war.

Tim was told he was stupid before he was old enough to argue, and spent the next thirty years proving he could survive anything: underground cage fights, Special Forces selection, Afghanistan. Then he came home, and the hardest fight of his life started at 2 AM with nobody shooting at all.

Interview, narration, and editing by Becky Hayter, with post-production, scripting, and sound design by Emily Nadal.
