Family Issues

Letter From PTSD

Dear Friend,
     Even though its not been long enough, I've come to visit you once again.  I live to see you suffer mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.  My visit will again make you anxious and irritable so everything and everybody will cause you to feel uncomfortable and disoriented.  I want you to be confused and depressed so that you can't think clearly and you'll hate everybody, especially yourself.  I want you to feel guilty and remorseful for the things in the past.  I want to keep you angry and hateful towards the world and the way you are now.  I want you to blame everyone but me for the predicament.  I want you to stay fearful and paranoid for no reason at all.  I want to live inside your dreams so you can wake up sweating and unable to go back to sleep.  I thank you for the countless jobs you gave up for me, and for the fine friends that you ignored because we became so close.  Most grateful for the family you sacrificed so you and I could be together.  I am happy that you were able to pass me on to your wife and children when they tried to stand by you.  Thanks for devoting your life to me.  But do not despair!, because I will never desert you as the others have.  I will become an even greater part of your life.  You can depend on me to keep you living in eternal Hell.  I will be your only friend.
                                 Forever with affection,
                                            PTSD
