Oh, I don't know Cherryblossom, I think you ought to give your family a chance. The friends who do not understand you are not true friends as they don't accept you for who you are. I don't have PTSD and I have lost friends through life when I did things they did not understand. That is not my fault, nor it is a reflection of the type of person I am. Basically they just have different views/and or values. I accept PTSD in my life due to my love for Anthony. If I could take it away for him I would but would I leave him over it.... no way unless he was abusive....that is my choice and if I had a friend who had PTSD I would be the same if I cared enough about them.
