(((Big Mama))),

PTSD is PTSD, whether combat PTSD or not. It is a result of trama in some people that has a lasting affect on the victim. In your case you were in a long term situation where you were actually raped, your personal space was violated and your brain is reminded of that trama when you are touched by a man.

Yes, it is hard to fix and the reaction can be in an instant before you realize you are reacting. I know I can struggle with that too.
