My traumatic experience (trigger warning: fire)
So.... One morning, i woke up and ate brecfist then started to walk to school, I stopped dead 4 houses down from my house, because my windows were open and I heard the smoke alarm. 5 minutes later smoke started coming out and my step mom and father dashed out. I thought I was dreaming, I thought it was a marage, I thought it was fake. So I ran and ran down the street crying, I ran past 5 fire trucks coming to my house but continued crying and until I came to my school and told my teacher, ten mins later my teacher got a call from my dad saying it was true.i relive this all the time. All the time.

Thank you for sharing such a difficult memory. What loss there can be with fires in the home and fear of the unknown. It sounds like you knew where to go for safety, even if you didn't know that at that time.
I'm glad you posted. I hope others who experienced something similar will post as well. All of us here have experienced something traumatic, but it's good to have someone who has walked in similar shoes too, to be here.
