You also have to look at why your over protective I guess. For example, which parts are being over protective because PTSD is at any point involved in the decision, opposed to just being a protective mother. Lets face it, mothers are protective of thier children, ok... clarification considering this place, some mothers love their children dearly, hence only have their childrens protection at hand. Even without PTSD, some parents can go overboard with being protective off their exposure to the world and others. Don't beat yourself up in regard to the PTSD aspect, just isolate if PTSD is involved, ie. from your traumatic experiences suffered, opposed to just the motherly bond.

Both can be destructive, but the motherly bond can atleast be learnt to give more exposure, without the beating up off one self thinking it is PTSD related. Kerrie is very protective of Alexander, yet I guess I as the male, also ensure he is and will be exposed to a little more off life, to even out the balance as such.
