She did say that her trauma was the same as combat.
From the articles I found, she was not threatened. They only reposted her tweets and called her names (thus causing her ptsd according to her)
Honestly, I just had never heard of social media causing this, I posted it only to find more information on it, not to bully anyone. If I knew how to delete it, I would.
I read the thread and did not see anything that equated to harassment, or tar and feathering. It was an old thread, where someone asked if they were using someone, they received several "yes" responses. The end.

I'll say it again. I have PTSD due to online harassment and cyberstalking - basically because I was a feminist on the Internet

If you google her name, you can get more details as reading her Twitter feed takes awhile.
Basic story is she was harassed for being a feminist on Twitter and now says she suffers from PTSD from this.
Part of my boyfriend's issues stem from childhood abuse, from his dad, and also from his mom basically leaving the children for years at a time.
Also, while we were having issues in January, his father pushed to come to my home and pack up my boyfriend's things while he was out of state, even...
Things have been going great between my boyfriend and I. We have really come a long way in being able to talk and communicate better. Right now, we are still up in the air about living together (he has some stuff here, still gets mail here,etc) but that is okay, we are just letting things happen...
Do not play victim, no one made you do anything. You chose to marry him, chose to have a child, chose to quit your job.
I was a stay at home mom when I left my ex, because he had a meth addiction.
Seven years later, I am still doing great without him, so are my sons.
You have refused...
Scout, I used to be guilty of that myself. I would ask my boyfriend a question, desiring a certain response, then be disappointed when I got a different one.
It can be changed, as I have changed that about myself, but only when one is willing to admit it happens and seek help to change that...
I think your husband is doing the best he can. I don't like black and white, right or wrong. There is a lot of gray in this world. I just think you have your own issues stemming from your own childhood that grants looking into.
Honestly? I do not think that because I do not know you.
What is your child not getting? How is this your husband's fault? You have not made that clear. You have stated what YOU are not getting.
My sons' don't ever see or hear from their father. I feel that is not what they deserve, but sadly...
I never said you thought he was a failure, he thinks he is one and frankly, your opinion or anyone else's does not matter, it's he who lives with himself 24/7.
I like crowds, I like being social. So I don't do those things with my vet. I do not need him to be with me 24/7, we have our own...
He doesn't. Not because he is a bad person but because his needs are overwhelming, because he feels like a failure and not meeting your needs reinforces that feeling. He doesn't want to hurt you but in his mind, all he does is hurt people.
There are a lot of places my vet won't or can't go. So...
I came here trying to find answers, too. I was also put off the first few responses I received.
Looking back, those responses helped me to seek the help I needed, so that I could be what he needs and who I want to be. You want sympathy, you want answers. I understand that, but mental illness...
