    PTSD & Police

    Originally recorded and post February 2019

    Christy discusses PTSD for special needs parents this week, how it manifests, and what to do.

    In "I Didn't Sign Up for This," she relates a very unfunny story related to her own PTSD.

    NOTE: I got a new laptop this week and there's an issue affecting the recording quality. After re-recording twice and doing what I could to fix my voice, I got to this point. If it's unpleasant to you, my apologies, and I will do my best to have it fixed for next week.

    In episode 7, Christy talks about having a child that's a misfit even among other "misfits." There's a struggle when your loved one is different even by the standards of their diagnosed difference. She sings badly and recalls old timey Christmas programming.

    In "I Didn't Sign Up for This," she discusses the importance of parental controls & the cost of forgetting about them.
