PTSD has affected my
family and people that
I care about,
by not allowing me to
express
my feelings to them,
to constantly
remain distant,
to
not show empathy.
It's just been in the
last year or so that I've
actually been able to
express empathy to myself,
and that's where I had
to start with.
My family has
never understood this.
It wasn't something I
could write home about
when I was in the service.
They were not aware of that
unfortunate incident that
I had in Germany back in
December of 1981.
I just shoved it to
the side of this
dark, little,
shadowy corner
and would not deal with it.
It was a very lonely place.
