Hello hiall,
Welcome back! We tend not to shoot our wounded around here.
Yes, I know that I have certain anxious feelings when something reminds me of my stepson at his worst. I've read others express being diagnosed with PTSD after living with an active alcoholic or addict--it isn't uncommon, unfortunately.
I'm so happy you have reached out IRL to get the support and help you need. Allow yourself to heal and learn and grow!
