[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And sometimes people experience great trauma and go on with life just fine.  Everyone is different.  Honestly, just enjoy a nice visit; don't try to be his therapist.[/quote]

OP here. I wouldn't dream of trying to be his therapist. I'm 26 years old, kind of a hot mess in my personal life and mental health, and in therapy myself so it's laughable to think I might counsel a wildly successful middle-aged man about his trauma. Jesus.

The things I'm worried about are much simpler (and very likely not things I should worrying about at all - it's been a tough few days and I came here to get things off my chest)  like if I should ask about what happened or if I need to worry about making loud noises. It might sound stupid but I don't know! My life has never been touched by gun violence before, or anything particularly traumatic.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice. Yes, I think part of it is that it has been a wake up call in terms of the fragility of life. I'm glad I still have a chance to strengthen our relationship.[/quote]
