Sarah Palin's son, domestic violence, PTSD and his reported struggles with anger and second chances [View all]
When Iraq War veteran Track Palin, the oldest son of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was arrested for the first time on domestic violence charges in 2016, his mother suggested his attack on his then-girlfriend stemmed from the “ramifications of some PTSD.”
