I have been floating around this site for a long time now and I am thrilled to finally find other folks like my self.....
All of our stories sound the same..
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the original "Stressor'S" may be different however the end result is the same.
Several years ago when I was helping my second husband with his VA claim;I jumped in head first and learned alot about this Disorder but the most surprising statement came from my husbands Dr. when told "While you were acquiring your PTSD your wife was full blown...."
I personally believe that my stress began when my birth mother gave me and my baby brother up for adoption in 1956-57
had that been the only stressor I think I would have been ok but I also was raped and placed in
florence Critten home and my son was taken from me because of Social status....
But you know;when you are down the devil JUST DELIGHTS in placing his foot on you and push you a little farther down...
Now I can from personal experience tell you yhat I person can become so lost because of PTSD that they can forget who they are.
I hoope that no one will be offended by my remarks

REMEMBER as long as you don't let negitive thinking get a toehold inside of your spirit you can find a balance for the stress
