I feel badly for those who are not able yet to apologize to those they've hurt because they are stuck in a place where apologizing is superficial lacking sincerity. Most folks who have PTSD from childhood abuse/neglect learned to apologize and people please early on and their apologies in my experience are merely another coping mech. that is automatic and not hitting the internal stuff. LIke saying sorry when you're not even aware of what you're saying you're sorry for. PTSD is NOT an excuse for behaviour however it can explain some rather atrocious behaviour by those we love.

When it comes to my healing I don't think I'll ever fully heal unless I admit my behavior is wrong, take responsibility for it, and try to fix it.

I'm still wondering how this behavior ( of having ptsd sypmtomology0 is considered "wrong."

Why does it need an "excuse?"

And, isn't this exactly what members here who do not have PTSD, and thus cannot fully understand it (unless they have become official experts imo) are expecting from others who display the symptoms of PTSD? The membership at large expects 1) big apologies and 2) some agreement to stop doing this.
