I know a lot of child abuse comes from narcissistic parents, but I don't think either of my parents were narcissists - their behavior doesn't match up to the symptoms.

Does anyone here know of any articles, etc. regarding the effects of PTSD-afflicted parents willingly abusing their children?
I admit I have not read the whole thread, but both my parents have PTSD. My mother has cPTSD and my biological father has combat-related PTSD (supposedly). They both inflicted abuse on me and were very violent, I suspect as a result of each of their disorders. I have cPTSD myself (diagnosed).

I am interested to see if you found any articles.
