You see-- it's response like Directions that have left me in my life to usually NOT say anything. I was told to "lighten up" after being held at gunpoint(in my back) for 4 hours when I was 8 by a crazed teenager.... that it was not a big deal, and was left to work out all my own traumatic situations-- like being held by a neighbor repeatedly against my will when I was 6...... "get over it" is what I was told and no one there so console my shaking 6 year old body after horrible nightmares...... but what the hell-- lighten up right!?

I knew I shouldnt have said anything-- why did I expect to have understanding???
