@KwanYingirl - soldiers do NOT get PTSD from relatively short term exposure to death. Sorry - I don't mean to hijack this thread and I am certainly not in any way disrespecting the trauma of long term domestic violence, but your statement is ignorant and incorrect. For one thing, my vet spent over ten years in total on deployment in war zones so his exposure was by no means short term. And while I am not prepared to go into the details of his trauma death was only one part of it.Soldiers get PTSD from relatively short term exposure to death.
I've tried to post a link to Anthony's excellent thread about combat PTSD below:-
