I must respond to this as a parent who raised a child during the most diffcult PTSD time of my life.

I love my daughter with all my heart BUT, had I known that I was indeed not mentally stable, I would never have had her. Knowing what she went through rips my heart out.

My inability to make sound and intelligent decisions during that period of my life WILL
affect her for the rest of her life. She is forever affected. She has issues from my
poor choices that she should not have to deal with, but she does.

If I knew then what I know now-----I would never had had her. But I was alone with no one to see what was wrong. I blame having no guidance as much as the PTSD.
