@Stamolka1986 can you share your experiences with me?

I witnessed my parents fight a lot, when they were fighting I was crying, I felt helpless, I was 5.

Now, when I witness loved ones fight I almost always cry...and sometimes I get very angry at myself for not doing nothing.

My brother is even worst.

I've been diagnosed with PTSD since I was 16, but experienced symptoms of it when I was 8/9 when I first witnessed a lot of horrible things.
