Thanks for starting this thread...I am a christian and I believe that everything happens for a reason...Does that mean the ptsd happened for a reason...I don't know....But I do wonder, if I could of gotten through losing so many loved ones when I was a teenager, without the ptsd....Also, in December when I told my mom to get some therapy if she wanted a relationship with me....Now shes seeing the therapist cause her husband is in a nursing home and it doesn't look like he's going to make it.
