My daughter and her boyfriend have the same first name and go by the same nickname. Conversations are interesting to say the least.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL of Complex PTSD, which arises from prolonged, inescapable trauma (like child abuse/neglect, sex trafficking, or solitary confinement). It's hard to spot & treat, and can last a lifetime. Victims have a diminished sense of self, and issues with trust, boundaries, cognition, motor skills, & more. by Pfeffer_Prinz
Not even one of those things is minor. All of them in a short period of time is definitely not minor. I really recommend you try and get some counseling for your kids. Find someone who specializes in trauma if at all possible. If you can't do therapy, I'd find some ways to slowly build your kids trust in the world back up. Emphasise that even though some terrible things happened, you are all still together and you'll get stronger together. Daily rituals can help. Little things that reinforce their security every day can bring a lot of comfort.
One of my children was very anxious when he was younger. We did a "Magic circle" at bedtime every night. We made a popping sound (finger in cheek pop), and said "Here's a magic circle to protect you, keep you safe, and wake up with a smile and a laugh."
Make believe is a very powerful tool with children.
I wish you and your family the best.

I bet his Dad feels a fool for complaining how law enforcement wasn't doing enough for his son who seems to have just fucked off on holiday.

I've never used enough salt to notice. I'm probably one of the few people my doctor told me to eat more salt.

I've never seen anything but iodized salt until I moved to rural North Carolina. Here, the grocery stores have more non-iodized salt than iodized. I assume it's because people here pickle and can more than other places I've lived but, given how under educated a lot people here are, I wonder if people choose non-iodized for regular use because they don't know to choose iodized.
