For whom English is a second language, and she painfully described getting stabbed by her partner, and how for months she was afraid to go outside, was terrified of groups of men, how she would wake up swearing and in tears. How she still gets afraid sometimes.

I believe it was because of her lack of resources, and ability to express herself well in English noone ever told her about PTSD. She had no clue what it was even though she had classic symptoms.
