But, that makes her claim stronger not weaker. He might have had it before he joined. If I had to listen to that squawk box growing up I might have gone nutter too.

Post Traumatic Sarah Disorder -

Maybe there is an ICD-10 code for that.

Might she develop PTSD due to Track's actions. Who will be responsible for that.

But seriously, PTSD is a real thing that affects lots of vets.

Perhaps it just happens to dovetail with his mother's eternal narrative of victimhood and entitlement.

In fact studies I've read indicate up to 80% of adult mental health patients who are hospitalized have experienced childhood trauma. It changes your brain chemistry. So considering her son's prior criminal acts, I wonder what happened to him when he was a kid.

In which case treatment, counselling and self awareness are clearly warranted.

Exoneration or even mitigation of drunken assault and battery however, not warranted at all. It's amazing how many thousands of PTSD sufferers somehow haven't gotten plastered and beaten up women lately.

Of course, she has no such excuse and so she's just batshit crazy. I think that's new in the DSM 6.
