Hi everyone my names Lexi. I really don’t know how to use this since I’m pretty new but I would like to just talk to someone who maybe can relate to my situation I’ve been in since 2008. My dad has a severe case of PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by going to Iraq in the military. If you don’t know what PTSD is, it’s something that screws with your brain after going through something traumatic. I’ve been dealing with my father for a long time now and haven’t been able to talk to anyone who really knows my situation. If I could find someone who understood maybe some of it, it may just help a lot. I’ve been going through this with my dad for so long I’m tired of having him so upset. He sometimes blames stuff on me when I haven’t even done anything. Just yesterday 05/09/18 he got mad because someone left his car windows open and he thought I did it so he told me to close them. This may not seem like such a big problem to people who don’t live with him, but when he’s screaming at u and you are so exhausted because u have been running around all day, you just want to cry. Thankfully my mom closed the windows but it hurts when he yells at me. In 9th to 10th grade the yelling and the hurt got worse. We would argue all the time over such little things. It would always end up in me going upstairs crying because I couldn’t handle him. Now today 05/10/18 I got upset because he began to drink alcohol again. He’s been sober for a couple months now and it crushes me to know he’s drinking again when he knows he shouldn’t. If anyone reads this and understands what I’m going through or knows someone who does please contact me. It would really mean a lot.
