PTSD

Daughter's PTSD is making life difficult for her right now.  She is reacting to some of the things going on at the workshop.  I'm not sure how much of what she says is real, and how much is her need to emphasize that she doesn't feel safe.  These men need to learn to respect the boundaries she's setting for her, and I may need to block another phone number on her cell phone.  I told her to ignore the calls, but she says the one guy called her 6 times this evening.  She's been turning her cell phone off when he gets too annoying. 

The staff at the workshop is addressing the program with the men and their parents.  I'm just tired.

Blocking the number is a good idea. I feel bad for your DD and I feel bad for the young men who want to go on dates and have girlfriends like other guys their age but they have trouble with respecting boundaries and a crush turns into stalking.

Thanks. I had to give Daughter a pep talk this morning-- she was afraid to go to the workshop.
