Just seen this on Insta. What a surprise.

This actually pisses me right off. It shouldn't but it does. I have major anxiety and the most horrible flash backs travelling in the car, following a serious car crash leaving me in a wheelchair.. Husband can't get petrol with me in the car because the smell is one of my strongest triggers and I'm a gibbering wreck. I've had all sorts of therapy to try and get over it but guess what, it doesn't ever go away. You have to live with it and get the
duck on with your life. So if someone like little old me can deal with it this odious little goblin can deal with it. Besides, and I may be doing him a major injustice, if London was such a huge trigger for him, I'm sure granny could have found him somewhere out of the city that could have made things a little easier.
For example Mr Flairey has bought a motor bike and sidecar, I love it, no flashbacks and I can have a lovely day out. The fact I resemble Nora batty is irrelevant. You find ways to deal. I'm not saying it's easy to do, it isn't, far from it I find that pink Sparkly unicorns said over and over in my head makes car travel a little easier, doing crosswords or reading a book, anything to distract from the fact I'm in a car.
I have no doubt he is triggered by certain things the things he has gone through would suggest its very probable. However, I suspect, like the post says his wife has told him London triggers him. when they launched heads together, it would have been the perfect opportunity for him to speak out about it. He would have reached so many people because he was more relatable then. I also think William would have supported him with it and it would have been something the whole family would have got behind him in. Of this I am sure. I genuinely think he has PTSD, but I also know there is no way on earth I would have had a therapy session like he had on TV. No. Fukin. Way. It was an absolutely horrific experience, I wouldn't want my sheer terror out there for the world to see.
Maybe I'm wrong and I'm doing him a serious injustice, but I feel he's making a mockery of the whole PTSD issue, there are many many people who are completely debilitated by it, people not as lucky as me to have an incredible support network. People who are drinking to complete oblivion and self medicating with legal and illegal drugs (which he has admitted to doing) to get through their day, prefering to be out of their heads than live with the horrors they've experienced. Families utterly destroyed by it, because the sufferer has committed suicide because they cannot cope with what has happened. I know it is possible to have PTSD from hearing about things, I have a friend who fostered seriously abused children and the disclosures they gave to her have left her incredibly traumatised due to the fact the children went into the whole trauma and totally re lived it. So yes it's possible he has it from his mother's death, but I have this awful, and I hope I'm wrong, feeling that this particular trauma is manufactured by the wife for monetary gains. Shoot me if you like..

This is awful. Very sad you had such a horrifying experience with the dreadful result to change your life physically as well as emotionally.
It has been said in this thread quite a few times that Haz has had so much therapy and help of various kinds he should by now have learned some coping strategies .As well he should realise that there are FAR TOO MANY other people in the world who lost a parent early on or had bad physical damage to live with ,and DO NOT HAVE the privileges he has to deal with it and be cared for.
I am sure you are right saying wifey has monetised his weaknesses.... but if she really cares for him WTF is she playing at....
Take care of you
