This might be triggering (mild?) but I dislike seeing the trigger icon in the Sanctuary of all places
The fight or flight response is instinctive. Making peace requires having knowledge of all sides, and having control to promote it. Children don't have that ability. Besides, how would you make peace with abusive people? How would you compromise with abuse? I think you're searching for a way to prove that you didn't do the right thing. How if you can make it your fault, then you deserved it. Reasoning that there are evil people in the world and they harm others is tough. They are the ones who brainwash the others into thinking they were at fault and deserved it.
