Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

WOW! Thanks for that one. Mother says my dad was cold, distant and lacking in any affection towards me. When my sister was born he gave her all the love and attention he never gave to me.

Things are beginning to come back in that he always called me a quitter.

Anthony, gonna go to my diary for this

Hmm - that's an interesting thought. I must have acquired my self esteem from other sources or successes in later life. So - it is possible to overcome?

Yes, you can typically overcome what has been done. It will just be harder than it need be....
