I have to go with Anthony on this. It is opinion based.

It is hardly permissive either. I have been wrong and apologized to my husband. Hell, if you squeeze it out of me I am truly sorry and do not want a repeat. My husband is the same. Now if you go to one of my abusive exs then sorry is nothing more than I am sorry until the next time you are tempted to actually leave... I am sorry I pushed it too far, I know I can hurt you to this point. Do you think this is what he meant? But again, just because they are in the therapist chair does not make them correct, it means they finished school. And I am not too sure apologizing is exactly a PTSD symptom, if it is it is not one I am overly afflicted with.
