It used to be crushing for me to revisit my childhood living in a home with a parent who suffered severely from extended combat duty during WWII and Korean War. This particular story, especially the video clip, http://www.kstc45.com/article/stories/s3075698.shtml, is still painful to hear. But it is far better for me and countless others who suffer from secondary PTSD, to have revisited the pain, and started the journey of healing. Denial does not work! The baggage carries forward and hangs on like bad genes. Awareness is the first step to healing and building a healthy, happy, and productive life… It is never too late!
