It does make sense, and I really appreciate that. I appreciate also the bravery from you to be able to answer these questions so honestly, and share so intimately your experience.
I have just one last question. You talked about the neighbour and all those stresses. When you were telling that story, I was thinking that so many people would say, yes, that would irritate me too. What I really would appreciate, if you can, is to explain what the difference is. What a person who does not have PTSD would experience is one thing, but you're somebody who's living with those realities, and then there's the work that you have to do as the caregiver.
I really want to make sure that we have it on the record, the clear difference you experience because of that history.
