Oh look at us! We are almost serious about this picture! I remember it like it was yesterday! It was back in Oct 2010, and it was one of the first family pics we had done since PTSD came to live with us.  PTSD moved into our home, as best we can recall, in 1999.  It was a polite guest at that time, only making itself known occasionally and still respected the boundaries of the family.  However, in 2004 boy howdy did PTSD throw itself a temper tantrum and got some massive attention! 

     We want other families to know that they are not alone.  We have been where they are, we have seen just about everything that PTSD can throw at a family.  We know that this insane, unwelcome, new family member can nearly tear you apart.  But we want to give hope. Even through it all, the nightmares, flashbacks, excuses and paranoia there is hope.  We found it by laughing our way through.......this is our story.  And we are kicking PTSD in the teeth by telling it!
