Family? They try to run away from it!
Pencils down class, the test is over!
That's what I feel like when I'm trying to explain to most of my family members about PTSD and how it affects my life! They're afraid to face my demon, even more so, (it seems) than I am myself!
Friends? They don't know what to say, so usually they just break off contact for a while, until I come back around, and do not talk about it.
But here's my thing: I don't get to ignore it, I don't get to run away from it, I get to face it, and sometimes I have to do it several times a day!
So my title question seems to be relevant to me. Who can care about this, when few want to discuss it, even on a perfunctory level?
Who the hell am I to complain about this though? After all, I volunteered for some of this, I signed and I stayed loyal to my oath.
The childhood sexual assault? That's a discussion point for another time!
