Reply to "Domestic violence; do perpetrators have trauma/PTSD?"

Chrystie Mort DavisMember

I find this entire conversation constructive and helpful. My Aces is very high, yet I find all my life I have maintained a high level of love and respect for my perpetrator. I whole heartedly believe that the anger issues that motivated the trauma towards me at a very young age changed and transformed to a combination of anger and emotional issues. You see, the sexual trauma started and combined with the physical after a tour of duty in Vietnam. I always get asked how can I possibly love my parent. My response is, how can I possibly not. It is simply about who I am and not about what I had to endure as a child.
