Hi Velvet, and welcome to the forum, glad you found us and even happier you joined to chat with us. Velvet, you have suffered trauma as outlined by the physicians manuals, no doubt about it. The parents divorce and those problems do not fit PTSD, but the molestation does, and what occurs after that most certainly does. Did you get PTSD during childhood or after the Army? Not sure, but your life is certainly fitting the diagnosis, however; you must get diagnosed by a physician first, preferably a trauma expert as Nam outlined above. Why? Because guessing does us no good at the end of the day. We can think we have something, may have it, but may not. There is so much more to PTSD than just the criteria, ie. its not just about ticking the boxes that you fit the diagnosis, but an expert trauma specialist will know for sure and diagnose you officially if you have it.

For all intensive purposes, I think you fit the profile of PTSD, and if you use the link in my signature and fill out the PTSD Diagnosis correctly, it will give you an idea whether you do need to seek professional physician for diagnosis. I think you might have it from what you said, but thinking is certainly not good enough, knowing is the only way forward.
