The Texas Family Farm Killings: The Disturbing Case of Robin Doan

[@robinmcinarnay7827]

[@furygeist]

When you experience that level of trauma, you grasp on to any kind of normalcy, any kind of routine, anything you can have control over. The cop did her a huge service walking with her to complete that routine so she didn't feel completely lost. I think that helped her keep it together enough to convey what happened. She wanted so badly to stop this person, to help her family get justice. Even though the world around her was in shatters, she wanted to do something, anything, to help her family the way I feel she likely wished she had been able to when it happened. It's not always logical, but I get it, and my heart breaks for her. She had no one she knew in that moment and had to trust complete strangers when a complete stranger had done this to her family and she had to feel so, so alone.

I hope she had a time where she was allowed to feel anger and grief over what happened.

All it really does is stunt your ability to process trauma, because you won't allow yourself to work through those emotions.

[@LoveYouLove1986]

She was a kid, I'm sure she was plenty scared and confused for awhile after it happened. Her moving on and processing all of it clearly took a few years. People process things differently. Doesn't sound like she was pushed into doing anything. She grew up and matured and learned to cope. She's clearly thriving, whatever her personal process of grieving was, it obviously worked out very well for her. Everyone is different and some people are able to handle things better than others.
