On, August 18, 2007, I was physically asaulted by my eldest brother. Thankfully, by dog began to bark and it got my mothers attention. She came to my rescue and got him to let go. It didn't end there though. I will not get into any specific details but I did press charges on him and he was arrested. My family convinced me to drop the charges and I reluctantly did on October 1, 2007. I have been sufferiing from PTSD ever since. I am very lucky to have such a supportive husband. I know now that I do need help inorder to live a healthy life.

Welcome, Betsy! My ptsd also stems from physical assaults from my brother (mine occurred in childhood and adolescence), so I sympathize with you. I think you will find this place very supportive.
