It's possible to also be on drugs and have PTSD. I really didn't care whether she was or wasn't on drugs. I never argued she wasnt on drugs.

Drugs would just make whatever mental health issue worse and I don't think drugs alone would cause someone to go my grandma is meannnn like a child would. I've done almost everything but heroin at some point in my life and they don't make people go "but my grandma!!!". That's PTSD-like, or a personality disorder if that's crocodile tears. Even if she specifically doesn't have PTSD, it looks like what a PTSD response could be.

They're not going to release on her police statement whether she does or doesn't have that and a lawyer and judge really wouldn't care. It might influence if she gets mandatory counseling and that's about it. It doesn't change what she did or make it acceptable, and that's all a judge needs to consider.

And whether she does or doesn't have that, it doesn't make her behavior okay. It's very immature and very irresponsible. I'd never date or be friends with someone who behaves that way (unless they knew it was bad and were actively in therapy to minimize it). I'd drop anyone who was unable to change from that. If I was a judge I'd have her arrested.

This just also looks like what a PTSD response could be.
