Insightful Forsight

[Barb Dwyer]

I wanted to comeand thank everyone again
for all the helpful support you gave me
back when mywhole world went wacko.

{{{{{ THANK YOU }}}}}}

Today, I'm still living in the arrangement
i had to move to...

but there's an aspect that's been bothering me more and more...

and that is the diminishment of a woman's having PTSD
after a traumatic or abusive marriage
in preference
to easily accepting a veteran having the same disorder.

Does that make sense?

Lately
on a few webpages
I've seen women
almost apologise for saying they have PTSD symptoms
when what they endured was no less ...
than any other warzone on the planet.

I'm thinking this is quite prevalent here locally ....

I'm nt very good at startinmg threads -
but if you've got PTSD,
have you noticed anyone
diminishnig your injuey
because you didn't immediately say
"tooka bulet in nam" or
connect it immediately to the service?
