I will state this again. None of you can ever possibly know how we feel and what we go through. So that point is pointless IMHO!!!!! Unless you have PTSD you couldn't possibly understand, or even come close to understanding.

I am glad that you have come a long way. I'd not have been scared of you then, though. I've dealt with convicted murderers who threatened my life, so I'm a pretty tough cookie. Not much scares me shitless. I merely recognize a level of antagonism that you bring to your posts and responded to it, as you seem to excoriate our attempts to understand better.
I may never understand you, you are right. You may never understand me. You are not alone, not the only person who has ever experienced deep, soul searing pain, not the only one who has ever lived through hell on earth, I can guarantee you. As I stated before, NO ONE can truly understand anyone else. All one can do is use skills of empathy to attempt to walk a bit in the other's shoes. Anyone who has experienced pain can also use empathy to attempt to understand another person's pain. That helps to bring a level of understanding. Perhaps that is pointless to you, but you are free not to read such posts, also.
