" In the best interests" has been done, the WHOLE family is dealing with the aftermath of the Social Service tsunami.
Post traumatic stress has started or in its process. Some experience it right away others years or months down the road.
PTSD is believed to be caused by either physical trauma or psychological trauma, or more frequently a combination of both.[Possible sources of trauma include experiencing or witnessing childhood or adult physical, emotional or sexual abuse.[1] In addition, experiencing or witnessing an event perceived as life-threatening such as physical assault, adult experiences of sexual assault, accidents, drug addiction, illnesses, medical complications, or employment in occupations exposed to war (such as soldiers) or disaster (such as emergency service workers).
Traumatic events that may cause PTSD symptoms to develop include violent assault, kidnapping, sexual assault, torture, being a hostage, prisoner of war or concentration camp victim, experiencing a disaster, violent automobile accidents or getting a diagnosis of a life-threatening illness.
Witnessing traumatic experiences or learning about these experiences may also cause the development of PTSD symptoms.
After the damage is done, who cleans up the mess. Who rebuilds the bridges? Who restores trust? Who walks the family through the healing process?
After coming out of Social Services whole family is dealing with Post traumatic stress.
PTSD can cause many symptoms.
Re-experiencing
- Flashbacks—reliving the trauma over and over, including physical symptoms like a racing heart or sweating
- Bad dreams
- Frightening thoughts.
Re-experiencing symptoms may cause problems in a person’s everyday
routine. They can start from the person’s own thoughts and feelings.
Words, objects, or situations that are reminders of the event can also
trigger re-experiencing. Parents have to see the very people causing this evil over and over again.
Avoidance
- Staying away from places, events, or objects that are reminders of the experience
- Feeling emotionally numb
- Feeling strong guilt, depression, or worry
- Losing interest in activities that were enjoyable in the past
- Having trouble remembering the dangerous event.
Things that remind a person of the traumatic event can trigger
avoidance symptoms. These symptoms may cause a person to change his or
her personal routine. For example, after a bad car accident, a person
who usually drives may avoid driving or riding in a car. The parents avoid showing up at some hearings or feel defeated when they are in the court room.
