Exposing yourself to the public can make you feel naked.

Taking your private struggles to the public can be emotionally exhausting, but in the end there needs to be light brought to these very dark struggles.

Today an article in our local paper was published going into detail about our families struggles with PTSD. It was a very emotionally draining experience to go public with such private struggles but ultimately Paul and I felt (maybe more I felt and he went along with it) that our story was worth telling to others. I will continue to be public about our struggles in the hopes that we can improve this broken system before my children are adults. Please let me know what you think!
