Nothing. Nobody here said anything like that. I was talking about comments to the article, on the Rolling Stone web site. I'm guessing you thought I was talking about the article? I wasn't. I was talking about people who refuse to take PTSD seriously, as if it were merely a matter of sucking it up or whatever. Look at the comments by "RealAmerican" on the R.S. site. You repeated my point a different way when you wrote that you don't know what it was like to be Kurt or Wes. Exactly my point. Isn't that what "walk a mile in his shoes" means? Before passing judgment, realize that you don't know what another person has been through? I'm a little surprised at your response, given how much you know about my own dealings with PTSD and what I do to help others. But a lot of it is beyond words, almost by definition.
