Having to deal with the ptsd just to punish a kid. Why is grounding a little kid to his room so hard. Its not so much the grounding as it is the listening to the little one wanting out. Its knowing that sound. The cry. Only difference one is for a few min and other is for few days. If it wasnt for the other people in the house I would have stayed there frozen. Back in the memory. I managed to get an ice pack from the freezer and put it on my neck. It didn't really work. Ended up texting the one person who could get me out. And wasn't able to talk. So I started writing this. It took my sister who is dealing with a divorce to get me to the point where i can start to get back to normal.
