Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Support Group
Find support with others who have gone through a traumatic experience. Whether you have chronic or acute PTSD, we are here for you.
I've dong therapy for My PSTD. So, last week, therapist asked, "what do You wanna talk abou??" I said nothing really, Then it all came out. This whole situation from 35yr's ago with this Downsyndrome guy. seem's she's getting me to talk about ather subject's To help me Forget Which is kina Ironic Beause, one her Specalties is Trama. And I'll Never forget.
I braught up PTSD she said "we are all tamatised, from Birth. Leaving the comfort of the womb"
I don't think that is really the same thing, compard to what we're all dealing with.
Anyway, She told me......For the last 2 week's: To UNFRIEND his sister on facebook, Which You can diesreetly. I'm just concerned about if her Brother found out (cause they tell him everything) might have his paren't bring him over, to try hurt me, He does Lunge at me like he's going hurt me.
I couldn't even workout, without seeing him in my mind wanting to hurt me. the fashback was awful, So I left
(I'm not doing it) But, think if she cared anything at all, She would ask "Whares my video?"
or show any concern what so ever, I also, think their afraid of their own son........So, They avoid confrontaion, And 'Humor" him But, I was told on this group, Humoring does not work.
That person is right, Because, then downsyndrome folks figure out, "WELL, I can get away with whatever I want, anytime I want"
That's like a criminal thing they got away with comiiting a crime.
I know By reading about DS that they have to feel in control, That they have to call all the shot's, it makes them, feel validated. I know they are confused to, so much so, that he thaght: Since he was older then me, I should respect him, cause he was older, He shouldn't have to respect me, I tell You what to do, YOU DON'T TELL ME.
He has the right idea, He is older, he should be able to, What him/the family needs to undrstand.....He's not able to do that, people have to tell him.....he's not able to figure out and think the way other people can, I know they wish he could.......And I know he appreciates everything they do for him.
I keep wanting to repeat all this in my therapy sesstion.
Also, I have been reaing about PTSD, And people with it seem to blame other's
Any Idea why that is?
Thank's for listening.

Here is my new brother, copper :) He's so tiny! Moo and Tuck were ok with him on first meeting. Rocket due to his severe aggression will never meet Cooper.

I'd say that it's not like we here on DSPTSD are walking around blaming others for our having PTSD, in my nearly ten years on DS PTSD. More that we're trying to deal with the damage done, by whatever or whomever, and it's sometimes very complex, complicated, and messy.
For me, saying we're all traumatized from birth is .... hyperbole. Upset, yes. Traumatized.... that's another level.
No idea if that helped or whateber, but you're heard.
Then my therapist says that my mom's mental illness is borderline personality disorder, which makes her like what you ask about here, a person who never takes responsibility for her own actions and lives to manipulate others. She was worse, so she's the one the church caught first, then him, and then they both got kicked out. I have to say that I really respect the church authorities for doing the right thing like they did.
dunno if this applies to your case, but i thought i'd share.
steadying support while you sort your own.
It reads to me like she might be trying to get you to take your power back by unfriending the sister... .. I'm guessing that's what it might be
Another hug while you work it out... xo
I think I will unfriend her. She's not active on facebook any more anyway..
Suncloud: She is trying encourage me to take my power back.
and help to stop thinking about this issue.
Again if her brother finds out, He might try to hurt me.
no problem with confidence......Me on the other hand...........
He does go to bat for his family.
Leo: He has gotten Violent with me before (if his Father wasn't holding him back he would have)
Though, I will say, he has a good attitude, But, when he's yelling and creaming at You he doesn't
There are consequences for bad behaviour ... Because he has Down Syndrome that won't stop them... He'd just be placed in a secured mental health facility instead of a jail
You can't attack people and be in society ongoing... That won't work for society
Big hug .... xo
I agree, I should call the police, If he comes near me.
And he does belong in a mental hospital, His sister even said on Facebook, that it was suggested by the doctor's that he be institutionalized, But parent's declined. That's probably why they all have PTSD. And that's why they let him confront people when he think's he's right about something, and have to "humor" him. The parent's feel bad, they couldn't give him a brother.....Their Daughter, feel's bad for not being a boy (so he would have a brother........There's
no way to know ,,,,,they couldn't have known.
I do know "Blood is thicker then water"
I understand that........But, What he wanted is someone he could teach stuff to, Get o and off the school bus, And just look up to him.
At least he has a little sister, He could be an only-child.
So, feel's like they took all their pain (not being able to give him what he wanted) out on other people.
I used to work in a forensic facility.... If someone is charged with a crime like an assault and battery and especially if there is a history of this behaviour they may be found 'not criminally responsible' or the term that's often used is 'not guilty by reason of insanity' however they will then be put in a mental health facility via the courts
You shouldn't have to worry about this... I'm really sorry that you're going through it.... Big hug... xo
