Thank you for sharing. I'm really sorry you had to go through that, no one deserves to feel so unsafe. Please don't be hard on yourself for how you coped. Everyone responds to pain in their own way, and just surviving through something like that is a kind of bravery. I'm grateful you felt comfortable enough to share this here.
