My son and I talk about some our his and mine shared memories that we have never spoken about. Edited somewhat... he needs no introduction...
Well I am the son of Scott A. Lee, and the person mentioned above is a moron. I've lived [through] the same situation, not the war [but] the after effects and anguish [that] I and my family suffered for years. So back off of it if you [have not] experience[ed it] first hand, I too witnessed the drugs, alcoholism the narcissim at our pain.
I was physically and mentally beatin down for years and years, but my defense for that was turning cold to the world and people in general because of my pain I have been hit dragged across the room screamed at punched and I've had my hair pulled I've been called names. I remember the manic states of panic my parent (Scott Lee) was in at night frantically looking around out the windows and so on then we would start beating not hitting beating her, then I would scream and cuss him out then he would come after me then I would run and hide.
I was horrified for years many years full of hate and disdain for what I lived threw what my family was put through [sic] all the beatings and lies betrayel and distrust the discord, so do not insult...the... victims with your flawed ideology.
PTSD is real yes how could somebody not suffer after the chaos of war? In my closing statement, I wish to say I am now past the hate [and that] I let that go shortly after I turned 18. I looked at you and forgave you one day out of the blue for everything you have ever done to me but most of all my brother and mother. It was a massive weight off my shoulders. But know [this] I will never forget it, to all on here what does not kill you makes you stronger.......(sorry if there are any errors I am on a smartphone)
The her above is my mother I should have put that in there. It was [the] senseless beatings for no reason. Is PTSD a hundred percent to blame? No, but a big part of it is and yes it is real [PTSD].
