Sorry, man. I've never been around that kind of stuff. How do you move forward so that it doesn't bother you?

It doesn't bother me usually, but my father laughing about the nickname just set me off. Kinda wondering if that was PTSD?

He doesn't believe what happened was wrong, Bruiser is a funny nickname to him.
