Honestly you acknowledging that you needed help and getting it is a huge step! However I’ve also been in similar situation with a partner. The fact is you took it out on her. What I would do right now is focus on healing. But if you truly want to do anything you need to apologize to her for what you did. You need to take accountability for your actions even with the fact you were dealing with the PTSD. But I am very proud that you’ve taken steps to better yourself!
