From the wikipedia:
Victims of post-traumatic stress syndrome are often said to display blunted affect. Veterans of intense combat have been described as having the thousand-yard stare (or thousand-yard gaze). Some of these veterans suffer from a disorder once referred to as shell shock and may experience a number of symptoms, including recurring nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance of situations that may cause distress.
This would describe my father’s side of the mind as he was a WWII veteran, so it would seem as if I were zombie like (blunted affect), but rather I was re-enacting and experiencing my father’s WWII experiences. I would disagree with any diagnosis of latent heterosexuality either, not even over-sexualized. I was caught up in the sexual activities of another or another’s fantasies of sexual adventure fueled by some novel such as The Story of O (I question whether this is even a novel but more an historical account of some sex slave from some other time.) or other lewd pornographic material. Therefore the diagnosis of Borderline Personality is inappropriate.
