- Many adults with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are parents who must navigate relationships with their children in the face of this diagnosis. This study investigated communication with children regarding parent's PTSD as well as parental experiences receiving treatment for PTSD in a Veteran sample. Findings indicated that Veterans desired to share information about their PTSD with their children, but that they experienced several barriers to doing so.
