Pejorative & Peeves

Christy discusses PTSD for special needs parents this week, how it manifests, and what to do. In "I Didn't Sign Up for This," she tells a very unfunny story that relates to her own PTSD.

If it's unpleasant to you, my apologies, and I will do my best to have it fixed for next week.
