Hi Lindy Loo
I think your situation is very inspiring – your son is doing well, however like you say I think we are all suffering from PTSD.
I have had to tell my son very clearly that I don’t trust him – it hurts him a lot to hear this and I’m sure it doesnt help with his recovery but his father was an alcoholic so I have PTSD and trust is a massive issue with me. I think it’s only through actions and not words can the trust be regained. And this could take many years.
I just feel sad – constantly sad, not angry not depressed just sad. I used to see happy times ahead – but they have been wiped out.
