| Re: fear or lack of confidence?
This is the first time i have been to any message board. Up until age ten, I was in a home were my father had ptsd and was very violent. He would do things like jump up and beat someone at the dinner table because their fork scraped their tooth. I am the youngest of five children. I was never beat, but saw my other brothers and sister beat and never knew when I would be next. There was constant stress and anxiety in my home growing up. I too have suffered all my life with running from my childhood. My father pasted away 6 months ago and his death caused me to process my childhood. My oldest brother commited suicide, another brother broke contact with the family for over thirty years. My sister has been in two different cults and only thinks and talks about possitive things. My youngest brother has live on the streets for 34 years and is on drugs and alcohol. I suffer with depression and anxiety. I have been able to raise two wonderful daughters who have been happily married for 17 and 12 years with happy children. I have been married to my second husband for 33 years. Is there anyone out there who grew up in a home with a father who suffered from ptsd and experianced things like that?
