Raising Happiness with PTSD
A Mom & Dad’s Journey with Autism, Trauma, and Hope

What happens when love enters a life that began in trauma?

Raising Happiness with PTSD is a deeply honest, heartfelt, and courageous memoir from parents raising a son born prematurely, exposed to drugs in the womb, and later diagnosed with PTSD and autism. Through raw storytelling, humor, faith, and hard-won wisdom, this book chronicles the realities of parenting a child with complex trauma—and the unwavering hope that carries a family forward.

From the NICU to sleepless nights, therapy rooms, meltdowns, medical battles, school struggles, service dog journeys, and moments of unexpected joy, this book offers an unfiltered look at life behind the scenes for families raising children with special needs. Told through both a mother’s and father’s perspective, it captures the emotional highs and lows of parenting when the rulebook no longer applies.

This is not a clinical guide.
This is not a sugar-coated success story.

This is a real journey, filled with tears, laughter, frustration, prayer, perseverance, and love.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• What childhood PTSD can look like in everyday life

• The emotional impact of trauma, prematurity, and sensory processing challenges

• How anxiety, triggers, and meltdowns affect the whole family

• Navigating therapy, schools, doctors, and misunderstandings

• The hope found in faith, community, and relentless parental advocacy

• Reassurance that you are not alone

Written for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who loves a child with trauma or special needs, Raising Happiness with PTSD is both a testimony and a lifeline—offering comfort to those who feel unseen and unheard.
