All I can do is echo what Lisa said pretty much. My kids are pretty well adjusted for the most part. I have one of my teens who is hell on wheels but I doubt my PTSD had a thing to do with it. If anything I am too involved and care for them while other parents let their 5 year olds roam the neighborhood.

I have a short fuse in some areas but when it comes to my kids I never want them to feel what I did so I am pretty choosy about what I say and try real hard not to just react, but step back and explain. When I sit back and talk I normally have more tears from my kids than any parent yelling. Not saying I don't yell at times... Sometimes when one has a bloody nose and another is a headlock you yell, but that is rare. I try to remember kids are kids. Even if bigger than me.
