PTSD - i am in a predicament here as every time i try to talk about my past with my mother she gets angry and says i shouldn't dwell on the past but live in the present. i get angry inside and don't show it. and i've learned not to talk to her about it either. how else am i going to know about it it was painful for her so i will not bring it up anymore, but does anybody else in here think the past is important, and could you give me some advice?
