Feel free to vent anytime Morgan. I am sorry your family doesn't seem to understand. It sounds as though they are trying to minimize the situation, likely due to a combination of discomfort and being uninformed of PTSD. Neither of which is an excuse though! My husband and I made some similar mistakes with our daughter early on, however we learned from them, and like to think we are doing well with her now. My heart goes out to you, it is a frustrating situation.
