Hi Tammy…..I admired your strong sense of concern and love for your ex-husband. My suggestion would be to head to your local library (or book store) and read up on the most recent information about PTSD. Or even go online.
I myself suffer from PTSD and have been diagnosed Bi-Polar.
I used to think that you had to be in a war to suffer from PTSD. Wrong. I believe that my PTSD surfaced in my adult life because I was severly abused as a child. Being renacted over and over again by something horrific that my mind just could not handle at the time. So my mind had a way of “burying the trauma”” as a child. Plus, I was shot with a 9mm by my ex-boyfriend in the stomach about 6 years ago. I believe that was the final blow to my mind. It jolted loose all the trauma I had stuffed as a child. It re-opened the can of worms.
