Joe

I woke up to the monitor in our room going off. We still have one set up just incase amber has a nightmare. I got up and rushed into her room, i sat on her bed as she was cuddled up in a ball crying.
I pulled her into a hug and rocked her back and fourth.
"shhhhh, i got you. Its ok"
She calmed down and looked at me dead in the eyes, hers were all red and puffy from crying.
"Joe"
"yes"
"i'm ready to find out whats wrong with me"
"are you sure"
"positive"
"ok, you have two issues which is why you have two medications. The medication you take in the morning is for anxiety, it helps to calm you down and prevent panic attacks"
"ok"
"the medication you take at night is for something a little more serious, its the thing that makes you have nightmares. Its called PTSD, you have it because of the tramatic experiences you had when you was little"
"i thought only soldier got PTSD"
"no, anyone can get it. Its caused by something happening that you are unable to forget about as it was a tramatic time for you as a person"
"so being screamed at and being made to feel worthless, was tramatic for me which caused me to get it"
"yeah"
"thank you"
"what for"
"Everything, not only do you let me live in your house. But you also deal with my nightmares, medication, appointments. You've really helped me, and you didn't have to."
"i might not have had to, but i wanted to. Now little one its really early in the morning so how about you try and get some more sleep."
"ok, night joe"
"night, ambs"
