I have a question, and even though I already addressed this issue, it got no feedback since other aspects of this article were more under discussion. True, these people in Oakland endured a great deal from their home invasion, and in no way do I want to be dismissive of what happened to them, nor am I unaware of how terrifying it was, but what you experienced was also scary as hell, and my sense is that you are being rather dismissive of your own experience. You're doing this by comparing the two, and my doing that you are playing down the significance of what happened to you, and how traumatic it was. I hope you'll consider what I'm saying.
Fran, I couldnтАЩt agree more. This was a traumatic experience. If GlennтАЩs children had been there, it would have been even more traumatic, but their absence does not mitigate the impact.
I have PTSD and I know from experience that you can feel fine right after an incident, only to experience a delayed impact. Best to keep an eye out for symptoms of post traumatic stress.
Yes, but as a parent (but any human could understand), I can understand GG's connection, which he related: He will forever remember that, thank goodness, his children were not there.
I understand that, but anyone who invades your home at gun point, threatens your life, and if I remember correctly, shoves a gun in your mouth, well, it's traumatic with or without your children present. Look what happened to the police officer. As far as his dogs being quiet, well dogs get frightened too.
Thank God that you and your family are safe. Has anyone started a GoFundMe to help the police officer?
We're helping him.

I have had PTSD and know what your saying is absolutely true.

Oh, yes, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. as you and M. Rachel both point out, GG will need to address the PTSD that is/will be inevitable.
Excellent. YouтАЩre true menschen.
Well, it doesnтАЩt work that way !!!! Oops.
