Yes that was a very good point Andre, very insightful. Evie is very ill right now and I believe her question was somewhat self-motivated. From discussion with her a couple of days back, the question is not so much why date anyone with PTSD, but moreso why date someone who is very ill or in crisis. I believe that was what she meant. She was thinking about someone like herself, who is almost incapacitated whilst ill, not someone who is able to "disguise" the PTSD for a time when first meeting, or able to function quite normally in their day to day living. At least that is what I am suspecting, she may correct me if I am wrong.
In any event, I have very much enjoyed everything that has been shared in this thread. It has given me insight as well, as I am not a spouse of someone with PTSD. |
