mgrn, have you ever asked your therapist if he could meet with your dad? I can really relate to your struggle as it is so hard to explain how different disorders effect us and that we cannot just decide to snap out of it.
I am sorry that you have to deal with that and you too Moonbeam2. It is no different than making fun of someone in a wheel chair and telling them they should just get over it and walk. And I agree that you should write a complaint to the network that aired that because it is a form of discrimation.
And I can totally relate to the frustration as I really suffer with PTSD and have had to distance from friends who actually yell at me to snap out of it. I wish it was that easy don't you? Often people say we are winers that never want to get better, that is the farthest from the truth and it really hurts.
Sorry you have both been hurt, I know how it feels.
