RE: Complex PTSD: Another Look at Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The traumas left by situations of war, mistreatment or any other kind are very sad cases. A few months ago I saw a video that shocked me, it was about some children survivors of the war in Syria who are in another country as refugees, the video shows them playing in an outdoor park suddenly passed a commercial plane making its roar, I guess the airport was near the park, the truth is that the children ran frightened to hear the plane and sought refuge under what they could, while the other children looked at them with astonishment without understanding why they had that behavior. It is a really scary thing that these children went through, and I think it will take them a long time to get over it. Your post is a great reminder of how catastrophic wars are, and those who survive get the worst of it.
Thanks for coming by, @mballesteros. Looking at the pictures, trying to find those that didn't violate privacy (too much) and that weren't too brutal--takes a toll. So much misery. I had a challenging childhood, by middle class, developed nation standards. But nothing, nothing in my experience can remotely compare to what these children suffer. It's just amazing that these things are going on right now, somewhere in the world. Hard to dwell on that.
Hope you are peaceful and well. Finished my collage and working on the blog now. Always a great escape for me.
