Re: P.T.S.D
Cassy, Thank you for your kind reply, no one knows just how long it taks for the dredded P.T.S.D to rear its ugly head. It can take one or a thousand occurrances. Your partner obviously coped longer and was not aware of any signs, I they actually surfaced earlier. I certainly was not aware until I walked into that bloody solid, invisable wall, either way once it happens life as you know it ceases and your world is turned upside down. I am happy for you that here is a special bond between yourself and partner. I wish him well. Question has he had help from his work mates of the Department.

Re: P.T.S.D
Cazzy, no one took notice of me until I institured civil legal action against, The State Government, Law Department and finally the Police Department. They made it so difficult I am sure they thought I would just go away, But I refused to. That is probably the reason I am ignored.

Re: P.T.S.D
Sandy I kept copious notes, two of everything prior to my court case after which everything vanished. Strange that.

Re: P.T.S.D
Hi Loopy,
Welcome (tardily, on my part) to the forum!
I completely agree with you about the PTSD rearing its head and sweeping all else before it. It sounds like you have been through hell. I admire your courage and tenacity for persisting in the civil suit. The law, and so many of those mechanisms, supposedly there to right wrongs and deliver justice are too often used to further abuse the "victim" (I prefer the term survivor). The law's an ass, and justice is surely blind - like all those who don't want to see it or believe the reality, because it is frankly too damned excruciating to face. Easier by far to blame and demonise the sufferer.
Take care, it sounds like you are doing that pretty well.
Kind regards,
Kristin
