Fighting Evil

Most might associate PTSD with men who have been to war. 

But that is not entirely accurate. 

Imagine holding your child,

As she can no longer fight the flashbacks of events too evil to mention here;

Memories so vivid, it's as if she has traveled back in time.

"Mom, are you crying?” she asks. 

Sometimes, it's ok to lie. 

"No. I'm not crying." 

I never imagined taking a man's life until that day and even more so now. 

She was only a child. She still is a child. 

My child.-
