The only way you can get through it is to keep it in historical context. Study what life was like then, what was normal then. You can’t evaluate it against modern standards. Horrific? Yes. Life was, compared to today. Context matters.

Please, please don’t take on more than you can deal with. It’s so very heavy.

I love that you want to dig into this, but your mental health is more important than looking further. I was truly numb when I watched your video yesterday. You are an empathetic person and you feel the pain of others. I know that I could not since I am the same way.

its truly sad what this kid endured. And I have to say from my own personal experience that these type of things were still happening in the 80s. I was a 12yr old and put in an adult psychiatric unit for 3 months and the things I endured are unimaginable. I can just imagine how difficult this was to read. And I agree taking a lil break may be needed and thats ok.

And the chances are that it was due to one of the following: epileptic; autistic; mentally disabled; or she was the daughter of someone who couldn’t take care of her and was also admitted there. So terribly sad.
