The part about the “big things that should have shocked and scared, made me break down and demand answers or plead or beg, eventually left me stoic” - boy I felt that. Like you, I was also exposed to things no child should experience, and when I tell people about it they are aghast whereas I am matter-of-fact. Please keep writing and sharing. It makes me and I’m sure others feel not so alone. ❤️🩹

My heart is with you and all Americans
