Monarch,
I apologize if I said something to cause you to feel like your story does not matter, it does. I was trying to explain why I don't always have a comment to help someone. One of my triggers for a few years after I came home was loud noises while I was sleeping. I would wake with a start, and start running for the bunker line to defend the perimeter, as that was what I was trained for. Nobody told my just-awakening mind that I was in a confined space, so my hasty run to defend always ended at the wall, usually with my face hitting it. Just as I would not expect you to comment on what would help me with that, I would not comment on one of your triggers that I had no experience with. It has nothing to do with feeling someone is important enough to help, it has everything to do with not commenting unless I think I might be of some help to someone based on MY experience in that area. Does that help clarify and defuse your anger? |
