No shame involved. PTSD is caused by a chemical change in the brain ( or changes) at the time of trauma. It isn't anything you can control at the time.
Also, it doesn't necessarily take a perpetrator (abuser) as those who are in natural disasters, for instance, can also develop PTSD. It generally requires fearing for your life, or being in a position where you witnessed loss of life and realized it could have been you, for example.
It's never too late to seek treatment as it does not heal itself. Actually, there is no cure for it at all... however therapy (and sometimes meds) can get you back to a place where PTSD isn't running (or ruining) your entire life.
