In 2014 I was Diagnosed with PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I had been suffering badly with it for over twenty years. It was the result of a serious beating that I received back in 1991 and a gruesome. incident i witnessed back in 2004. I thought only people who been in a war zone got PTSD

Have you ever been frightened to close your eyes and go to sleep because if you do you might relive the nightmares of the past It was a lonely sometimes tortured existence. Which cost me the woman I love and the children that i miss.

So don't me judge me for the mistakes I made through a condition that i have.

And if you must judge me then
Judge me for me for the man I am and not the man that I was.
Judge me for things I do and not what I did.
Judge me for things I say and not what I said.
Judge me for the things I see and what I have seen.
Or let they who is without sin cast the first stone

If you must judge me then do so now or forever hold your peace…….Thank You.
