Hi,
When I get flash backs or any of the other PTSD boys and girls get a flashback, we merely go to one, or ones like us, and talk.
I learned this from others like me, and it works.
Amazingly, what you went though gives you everything in common with pulled the trigger types of combat veterans. That I learned, when for the first time I started working with the civilian variety of PTSD people, and I started with civilian women.
I was so stunned and so worried, that before I shared with her what caused mine and that if some of my fellow PTSD types, which is actually having to kill others in war for some of them that I quickly told her to go to The Oregon National Guard for support because she has everything in common with them except what caused her PTSD.
I then shared details, yes details with her on what caused Lennies PTSD, and then she was better in her relationships and she didn't know why.
None of my type, knows why one old geezer with PTSD, or geezette with PTSD, sharing with another PTSD type every 90 days works. We don't.
It just does and you for life Parent Society, in protecting others from becoming like you, in the ways you were abused as you will intercede on the part of innocents without even knowing at the time that you are doing that.
In ways you can no longer be or live, vicariously live through the smiles and actions of those who can live like that because you and other Warriors have Zoarented Them.
The parenting part, understanding it comes later, if you do not already experience that now.

I am, sorry this was so sloppy and messy. However, actually coming here to talk to you helps, me.
Tonight after a particularly grueling battle with a verbal abuser, I was in a flash back from incidents in my earlier life, alone those lines.
I was so severly abused verbally, that when I was asked if I was ever and given a set of questions about it, most of the questions on verbal abuse, I answer no to, honestly.
They had another set of questions though, on verbal abuse. It was for severe cases of verbal abuse. 80% of those I answered yes to.
It is in also talking to ones like me, You and Armoured, after an engagement that lets me calm down for awhile, and then almost be like I never ever had PTSD. Ever. That is not true, but I get some relief from talking to ones like me, and to me total relief, but it comes in 90 day chunks of time.
LOVE,
...Mary., .... .
