PTSD events are like a pebble/rock/anvil that hits a car windshield. . .a small object (so to speak) leaves a small “ding” with no splinter cracks. . .a bigger or subsequent object hits and produces a crack and auxiliary cracks. The continual bombardment of events can either spread the obstructive view of the driver or at least distort it. Initially, state automobile inspections dismiss small or insignificant cracks or splits in the windshield for vehicle inspections. But, upon subsequent inspections, if the cracks and splinters obscure adequate safe operation of the vehicle, it will be declared unsafe and a danger. I am reticent to evaluate my windshield. . . sometimes, I feel like it is totally obstructed.
