I don't really know then. And PTSD doesn't always result from abuse or neglect. It could be from witnessing something horrific and it's possible not to remember the actual event but have subconscious reactions to the experience nonetheless. It can also be from feeling helpless in a situation that was traumatizing to the individual. Not saying that you have it, just some insight.
