Title: Heartbroken...
Post by: LittleBirdy on December 01, 2018, 04:05:24 AM
Just found out that my little sister who is much younger than me (we don't live together) has PTSD as well. I have been through so much over the years but I would always look at her sweet little face and would always hope that nothing bad would ever happen to her. She lives kinda far so I know there isn't much I can do. I just feel so sad... I never wanted her to experience this...sure it's not from abuse (that I know of anyways...we all know no one knows what goes on behind closed doors..) but still it's an awful thing to have to go through. I told her I love her and that I'll always answer the phone no matter what time of day but I don't know if she'll actually call, she's at the stubborn teenager age. I'm just so sad, I never wanted this for her and I dont like seeing her in pain like this.

I'm so sorry about your little sister.   :'(  It sucks dealing with CPTSD but it must be far worse knowing someone that you care for and feel protective toward has it.  She is lucky to have you in her corner--even if doesn't seek out help from you.
