I don't know why I am just finding this forum now, but I am very happy that I did. I am Tara, 29 years old. Been diagnosed with PTSD since 2005 I believe. Mostly brought on my childhood abuse and things of that nature. I have some things happen as an adult too, which have made it harder, but it started at a young age. It will be nice to be part of a community who understands what I am going through. A few months ago I finally told my mom about some of the abuse I went through and why I have PTSD and can't come around all the time. She wants nothing to do with me. She got my whole family against me. I have lost everyone because of my PTSD. It's hard for my friends to understand because they only have so much experience. My friends are supportive though, so I am grateful for them. I just feel like a place like this, where I could be understood, might be really helpful.
 
Family can be a traumatizing group of people. Sounds like you are better off with some distance from them. Glad to be here and glad you are here too.
