Congratulations on your sobrity. 
It is very normal for PTSD to be delayed. I completely repressed mine until my daughter was 2 1/2. I too have been to college and thought I was going mad, couldn't be happening! I'm glad to see you already have a therapist, your probably in a place now where your mind feels safe enough to start dealing with the trauma. You have quit medicating yourself and have a family and a therapist, somewhere your mind said it safe to deal with this now. It probobally will not feel safe or very great at all but there is part of you that wants very much to deal with the past and truly get past it what ever it takes. It's not easy but hang in there. It does get better.  PC is a safe place to post and get suport too. Good luck, and take care.
