[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience was the opposite. I've been unfortunate enough to experience both and nothing changes you quite like the fear of imminent death at the hands of a stranger. [/quote] Not the PP, but I think a crucial addendum to PPs statement is that the affects of violent crimes (or acute trauma) can often be mediated by skillful and loving caregiving (or healthy attachment). The same is true in adulthood, btw. But unfortunately, many people don't have loved ones that skillfully respond to traumatic incidents - and when this doesn't happen, the chances that a child (or adult) will be "okay" after experiencing a traumatic event are greatly reduced. [/quote] I think this is accurate. I'm the PP and my parents were completely freaked out by what happened. They were unsure how to respond. I felt a certain level os responsibility to act like everything was fine so our family could get back to normal. It was traumatic for all of us. [/quote]
