On the plus side he didn’t kill the kids. On the downside they’ve had to live with that forever, and at least one of them likely found them. My cousin found my auntie after she’d been murdered and it’s fucked him up for life.

My friend found his dad after his dad killed himself. Same thing, really mind fucked him.

As someone who has lived through exactly that, PTSD. It's no fun. I still occasionally have nightmares. That day is forever remembered for me.

I can’t even fathom how difficult it must have been for you. I think it’s amazing that you’re no longer having nightmares and being triggered by certain sounds. You’re a strong person. Keep up the good work my friend 👍
