I looked out over the crowd in New York City, a mixture of both veterans and nonmilitary personnel. I asked What About Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Self Care? The room was quiet.

Maternal instinct and a need to make sure that our children never have to grow up with the same trauma we had to turns our lives inside out and upside down. New York City
Sh*t… it’s f’ing hard. Not usually my beautiful public school education lingo, but it’s far from ‘jolly hockeysticks darlings’. For the 8th morning in a row, my little 4 year old boy was afraid, scared, terrified about going to school. New York City
