Don't know where to start...me and my kids left abusive husband/their dad about a year ago. All three of us have ptsd. When oldest is triggered, I am triggered, which triggers youngest. Ugh. Some days I am just not up to being what they need and I hate myself for it. School is not going well for oldest and a very mean teacher is triggering. They want to see it as a discipline problem. Anyone done any alternative schooling?
We are seeing a couple of therapists but one we've been seeing for a year and won't diagnose unless the child 'says' it (the kid loves dad and won't say anything bad about him) and the other one has just figured out what it is-duh. Haven't even gotten any solutions yet. Oh, we're still playing around with meds for oldest but no success yet. Anyone know of a board for parents of kids with ptsd?
Thanks.
