the specific part that was quoted from my post makes it look like we use PTSD as an excuse and that it is the CAUSE of abuse. which i dont think is what my original post is portraying. and i tried to explain it better since im not very good about creating a clear picture. so when thats the only part of the post that is quoted to the question that someone had about it and then split it becomes the topic in question. then in turn, is when i take it personally. which im sure hardly anyone knew who wrote it. but i and some others do.
PTSD takes over such a broad range of people. it doesnt care what color, age, gender, ethnic background you are and no 2 people will react the same way even with the same experiences. and with enough military training combined with PTSD is asking for a rage of violence. not everyone will experience this, but my husbands unit alone.. weve seen all that we needed to see to know violence and PTSD can be linked together. no doubt about it. it doesnt make it an excuse. but imagine you are who you are right now or at your worst times in your PTSD road of life and are on more then 20 different meds, and you have a flashback. could you 100% say you could control your actions or words? i cant speak for myself, because i have never done that, but ive seen it. i personally think emotional and verbal abuse is so much more worse then physical.
