Yes, this can be a strong symptom with PTSD. Unfortunately if someone who struggles with PTSD's family isn't made aware of what PTSD means and how to be supportive, they tend to treat their suffering family member in some very unsupportive ways. I have dealt with that myself and it made me want to "avoid" my own family badly.

Unfortunately people are so uninformed about what PTSD means and how the person challenged genuinely struggles and they can't "just", the result is people tend to constantly say "just comments" that only aggravate the PTSD.

The reason why you feel like crying is because "it is sad" when one's own family members don't show support, caring, and understanding. Our family is suppose to be a safe haven for us where we feel loved and understood and accepted, not a group of people that we feel uncomfortable, threatened by, or that will be dismissive and negative.

Are you seeing a therapist?
