This time was exceptionally hard on Valin's family. Being telepaths they picked up on Valin's dark mood. Kurdan was old enough to understand but young Brienna could not process how her father was behaving. Kyleanna tried to get through to her husband, but after a couple of years decided enough was enough and moved back to Betazed, taking the children and filing for divorce. | This time was exceptionally hard on Valin's family.

The next year he received a letter saying how Kurdan how joined Starfleet Academy. That he was doing something with his life. Valin looked at a video of his son, looking so handsome and proud in his cadet uniform. It was a wakeup call. He was going to prove that he would be worthy of his family again. He was going to stop the self-pity and be part of something bigger than just his own meager existence. And Starfleet was just the way to do that. In 2190 he joined his son at the Academy. | The next year he received a letter saying how Kurdan how joined Starfleet Academy. That he was doing something with his life.

"I cannot go into the details of Dermont's case, as I will not breach his confidence. That will be a matter between his next counselor and myself. However, I can give some insight into his professional demeanor. He is a man with issues which at times may hinder his ability to take charge. He appears to freeze during moments that hinge on his decision-making skills. It is no breach of confidence to say that the tragedy continues to be a sore spot in his life. Be warned future commanding officers, he does like to speak of that past. It lead to the alienation of his wife and children. And while he had joined Starfleet in an effort to move past it, it will be a long and challenging road for him. Despite his objections, I have put in his file for him to continue weekly counseling at whatever posting he may receive. | "I cannot go into the details of Dermont's case, as I will not breach his confidence.
