Separating the PTSD from the Real

Sorry about the short hiatus from writing on here.  I have had a killer time the past few days.  I ran into one of those situations that is really easy to brood over and I needed time to figure out what I was feeling and whether it was my PTSD talking or whether the feelings I was having were warranted.  Here's the situation:  I was feeling slighted and disrespected and I couldn't tell whether it was real or imagined.  It took me a while to work through it, but I was able to ascertain after a number of days that it was not my imagination.  I decided to confront the person responsible for this behavior.  I went into it cool, calm and collected and came out the same way.  The person I was confronting didn't like what I had to say, but I could honestly care less.  When someone passive aggressively attacks you for months and you finally realize what they are doing, it REALLY gets under your skin.  I used to respect this person.  Here's the kicker.  This person knew about my PTSD and used my uncertainty of my emotions to take out personal frustrations on me, like I was a whipping boy.  Needless to say, that's over and done with.  There will be no more of that happening again.  It's the first time I have questioned whether restraining my emotions was a bad thing.  I realized that one person taking advantage of my goodwill doesn't mean that everyone else should have to experience the volatility of my emotions and am staying on the track I have been on.  To this nameless person (and you know who you are), you can't beat me down and you will never own me that way again!
