I'm fighting it. Went through some pretty horrible stuff in addition to the abuse from Mom. It's something I've never told anyone and only recently did Dad find out a portion of what happened.
What's PTSD?
From Wikipedia:
a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma. This event may involve the threat of death to oneself or to someone else, or to one's own or someone else's physical, sexual, or psychological integrity, overwhelming the individual's ability to cope. As an effect of psychological trauma, PTSD is less frequent and more enduring than the more commonly seen acute stress response.
Diagnostic symptoms for PTSD include re-experiencing the original trauma(s) through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma, and increased arousal – such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, anger, and hypervigilance. Formal diagnostic criteria (both DSM-IV-TR and ICD-9) require that the symptoms last more than one month and cause significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
Eventually, I hope to overcome it. Church has been the biggest help so far in keeping me from being self destructive and keeping me from pulling the trigger.

I lost my dad over two years ago and I've been struggling with this problem ever since: being triggered into crying fits and occasional hysteria, periodic mood swings and hostility...
The only things keeping me on this side of sanity are good friends, a loving family, and the belief that he's in Heaven watching over me and my brother.
