Kori, I can relate to the way you feel, what I went through with my father was rough, but nothing like being in a combat situation or being raped in some parking garage or sonething. So at times, I feel guilty about that. But Kaliope is right, our experience is our own, and can't be equated to someone else's.

As far as someone online saying a rape victim should "just get over it" - that is assinine, it shows extreme ignorance of psychology as well as being extremely insensitive. Ignore zone for sure.

I am learning that the universe of PTSD is very complicated, and there are no "one size fits all" situations or answers.
