I was searching PTSD and forgiveness...Good morning. I was searching PTSD and forgiveness and came across your blog - thank you. <br />I was never in the military, but was diagnosed with PTSD seven years ago do to significant physical and emotional abuse from birth to about 12. Read all the books, made all the promises and then broke them, therapist after therapist. Just this week my current therapist (an effective one) told me to look out and be mindful of my triggers. And then, remember to whom my anger is truly directed at: my abuser, not my partner. This hit me like a bolt. Now, knowing this, I can no longer blame my partner or friends for my misguided anger. I now have the knowledge and tools, it is totally up to me. <br />Also, thank you for describing your feelings around one suffering from PTSD. It is so good for those of us in recovery to read this: we can see the results of our not trying through your eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084876361608306937.post-68415714289796592102012-03-24T19:08:39.719-07:002012-03-24T19:08:39.719-07:00It's amazing the excuses we make for them, to ...It's amazing the excuses we make for them, to ourselves. <br />I've got a vet in my life who will not commit to me, who most days of late leaves me wondering what the hell he keeps me around for if he apparently hates me so much. But then come leaving time he becomes suicidal and can't let me go.<br />When did this all become normal life?<br /><br />Thank you for your blog.
