about one year ago, my boyfriend had to leave his apt and move in whith his mom, she had a massive heart attack. ever since then ive noticed slowly that he is different, mom is a very domineering person. he is an only child, i know he is very deppressed, she treats him like a child. i just spent 3 very long days there and im sooo glad to be home. do you think you can get PTSD from that situation? i realy think you can. anyone know? i know i have it from all the bad sturff that ive been through. anyone dnow or have simmilar sitcuation?

Not sure, depends on his signs and symptoms and how the 'domineering' has affected him.
It could just be depression...Men experience Depression a little differently than Women. Check out www.sidran.org for more info on PTSD. Also, my 11/3/07 Journal Entry has lots of info and resources on PTSD and Sexual Abuse. It's open to the public. There are 2 entries, one PTSD, the other SA.

Yeah, check out Sidran for symptoms.
It *IS* possible. In fact, it is possible for someone without PTSD to get it as a response to dealing with someone they love having PTSD. Also, it appears that it is a later in life trauma that pushes one over the edge and makes PTSD finally appear even if it didn't appear after the original trauma. Low cortisol levels can also be a PTSD factor.
