A big part of PTSD is shame, and that shame is born of pride. I have a great deal of shame over some of my traumas, because of pride. I used to always think that it was my fault somehow. That I could have done something different, that I had control over the situations. And it is true that I could have made different choices. I could have brutalized the people who were hurting me. I had ample opportunity, many many times. But I didn t, because it wasn t christ-like . I could have killed... My Foolish Pride.
