21. I have had PTSD since I was quite young

Fri Dec 2, 2022, 06:09 PM

Dec 2022

From growing up with seriously disordered parents (one an outright violent psychopath; the other, a textbook narcissist who never misses an opportunity to verbally abuse me), not to mention nearly drowning three times, being gang-raped and being stalked by a lunatic.

Despite that, I've been a gun owner at various times over my lifetime. Yet I've never shot anyone, through a door or not.

Stop excusing this trash, and accept the far--FAR--more likely probability that he's a violent scumbag.
