I don't know how anyone can assume he's moved passed his trauma just because he came on the show and talked about it. He's 19 years old. He may be successful professionally but unable to ever have a relationship. He may struggle with a career or money management etc, things that are hard to predict at this point. He may or may not have Ptsd but either way it doesn't mean he's overcome it. I know 2 men with very similar abusive childhoods, one diagnosed with Ptsd, the other not. Both had very successful jobs. The one with Ptsd never broke the law or became addicted to drugs, the other did, but straightened out when he had his own children. Neither have done well in romantic relationships. I guess my question is, what does it mean to overcome it? What is success? Is not getting Ptsd what makes you successfully overcoming it? Is it up to Oprah to define that choice? Who chooses to be defined by their history, we ARE defined by our history. We can make some choices based on that, most certainly, but mostly it has to do with effect it's had and your brain and luck. Pretty much everything in life has to do with luck.
