[quote=Anonymous]OP, if this is you periodically interjecting with "government will never end restrictions" and "I haven't told her her life is over yet"--these are cognitive distortions you're having. I, myself, know that we're in an increasingly authoritarian situation and that if none of our checks and balances prove capable of function, we're headed for fascism or failed statehood or both. It is going to suck very badly, for quite some time, for me and people in my community. I can give you a laundry list of reasons why I know this and we can agree or not. The point is that my knowing this is totally unrelated to how I deal with my 5 year old's feelings about coronavirus. My trauma isn't coloring my reaction as much, right now, so I can honestly say to my kid: as people, we will get through it. As a family, we'll get through it. That is what your kid needs to hear from you. *Any message far off of this is you inflicting trauma on her.* [/quote]
