IrmaJean Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hello, Brooklyn mom. Welcome.It's difficult seeing a loved one suffering and struggling. Are you talking with a counselor for yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonmilitaryPTSD Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hi there. I am 41 years old and was officially diagnosed 5 years ago. I went through my trauma of both parents dying 9 months apart at age 16. I was not given the opportunity for any kind of therapy which led to a lot of years with sexual and physical abuse because I was attention seeking. I am telling you this because the most important thing you can do is to get him into counseling (if not already) and also be there for him. Ask him about it. He may talk really fast and may sound jumbled but he is getting it out. I wish I really had someone I could do that to. My partner and family try but I'm not sure if they believe I have such a thing. It's taboo to them. So just be there. Sorry if I ranted. Patty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
