Violence

Is violence a symptom of PTSD ? Can you abusive behaviors after coming out of traumas. Is that PTSD or does it mean you just are an abuser ?

I'm not sure. Wish I could give you a more solid answer than that, but I honestly don't know.
What I might think is that once you've grown up with violence and seen it an an example of how to react to certain situations, that soon becomes your "go to". But that would also be assuming that the PTSD is from that sort of violence.
I've never heard of it as a symptom of PTSD, but then again, I could be wrong.

Aggression can be, so I'd think that could lead to violence. That said, I'd argue that violent behaviour could be more a reflection of the self-restraint that already existed regardless of the PTSD. Meaning I don't think someone would become violent due to PTSD unless there was already the potential for violence there.

I think it also boils down to the circumstances around the violence though. Whether they were the instigator, or whether they were reacting to something that triggered their PTSD.

For example, one time when I was out with a group, one of the group members initiated completely inappropriate and unwelcome physical contact that triggered my PTSD. I grabbed them and shoved them away rather harshly, and I'm sure it shocked them quite a bit. They weren't hurt or anything, but there were other ways I could have handled that situation. It was an instant fight or flight reaction, I never even thought about it. I just reacted.

That's a lot different than feeling aggressive and seeking to violently take it out on someone though.

Yes the fight or flight causes problems for me... Especially since I never really COULD flee, so fight is my first response. That and sheer avoidance.

Yes.

If a person developed PTSD because of violence (especially child abuse), then they will almost certainly react to triggers with violence. It gets even more complicated in domestic relationships because the spouse or significant other will often trigger the PTSD victim on purpose, so as to make themselves feel that they have power during an argument. The triggered PTSD victim then commits violence against the domestic partner, which means that the PTSD victim is an abuser.

That's the cycle of child abuse, and that is why society should stop accepting child abuse.
