I remember Thomas saying that shortly after she got back, Emily told him that she thought she had been away for nearly a year. That was how long it felt to her, and children don't have the same concept of time that adults do anyway. How can a child process or ever fully recover from something like that? One thing I'm thankful about is that at least nobody physically hurt her - other than not giving her enough food - and that she was there with people who cared about her and looked after her. The thought of a child going through something like that alone is unimaginable.

Resilience is only partial. Some aspects of her trauma will not come to the surface until she's older when her mind allows it.

[@justinemukhopadia6022]

You need to study some recent history about what has happened since 1948 and see how complicit Israel, was in creating the Hamas as it is now. Hamas started like a local government to run Gaza. The tunnels were built to get food into Gaza and other essential items for hygiene and health, especially for women. Of course goats and sheep. You probably don't even know Israel has sheets of paper with a table showing what food could go in to keep all on a minimum calorie diet, it can be found if you look. Israel fostered Hamas in order to ensure there was never any agreement between The West Bank and Gaza, a " divide and rule" policy. Just check the behavior of the government, look at the facts and you will see the government of Israel is so consumed with hate there is nothing they won't do to grab power. Read what people write, not of course the Israeli propaganda that will just take you down the rabbit hole.

@@Rip_Saturnnobviously Islam and Muslims are NOT peaceful. Pretty stupid to say that they are as one watches this little girl and try to imagine the terrible trauma she has gone through. Israel has never done anything like Hamas did!

[@1lynton128]

​@@Rip_Saturnn Israel is home for the Jews. Islamic states have more than 600 times as much land as Israel and yet Islamists seek to destroy Israel too. Islam in fact seeks to subjugate the whole world. China has defined Islam as a mental disease. Israel is in an existential war against islamism. Ham ass showed it's clear intent on October 7. Subsequently Ham ass has shown it's true disregard even for civilian muslims in Gaza. To even suggest that Israel is as bad as Ham ass indicates an alarming Islamist mentatlity.

Beautiful little girl. 🙏 for her healing.🙏🙏🇮🇱🇬🇧

[@BMarie774]

I was extensively sexually abused as a child. I said nothing to protect others. My abuser specifically told me that if I told, my dad would kill him. Which meant my dad would go to prison. And my mom would be so distraught she’d shoot her self. And me and my brother would end up separated in foster care. As a child and teenager I was okay. I managed. I didn’t think about it. I did have some pretty intense anger issues but it never seemed directly correlated. I went to concerts. At 16 I wanted to move out for the summer and get a job in chincoteague VA. I was FINE. Anxious and a bit depressed but nothing egregious. Suddenly at age 22 everything came back to me. I began having physical flashbacks. I remember one day my mom shushed me, and rage suddenly shot through my body and I growled “don’t ever fucking shush me again!”. This caught her so off guard. It caught ME off guard. I wanted to strike my own mother for simply shushing me because my aunt was sleeping. Something wasn’t right here. I was thinking about it when suddenly I had a graphic flashback of being shushed by my abuser. I’m 28, currently disabled, on SSI, because most of my days are spent managing and processing my symptoms. Healing and reprocessing has become my full time job. I never realized the way my trauma effected me. I became severely agoraphobic and stopped leaving the house. I wouldn’t leave the house to even go to the doctor. I don’t trust doctors. I don’t trust anyone who may have authority over my body while I’m unaware. Thankfully I have probably the best therapist a person could have. He’s helped me profoundly. Edit, just to be clear. My symptoms were so bad because I regressed so much. I used escapism and other tools that weren’t healthy or based in reality. I told no one until late teens and adult hood. If I had received proper therapy as a child and processed this shit correctly, my life would’ve been profoundly different.
