thinkin a lot about generational trauma tonight. it is such a present part of life?? i dunno if people realise that sometimes. not even the emotional parts, but just the actions that come from it. every time jews or nazis are brought up i completely freeze so i can listen because there is always a chance that someone is going to say something and then i have to accept that they and possibly that whole space could be a danger to me. and that’s just the bare minimum of habits i have to be able to keep myself safe if needed. i was brought up with the family passed down truth of “some people hate you. your ancestors had to flee because of that. you might have to flee one day”, so i began hiding my spare change and dollars in case of emergencies, not even realising why i felt the need to do that. the thing is, i recently discovered my dad did the exact same thing, despite neither knowing the other did it. generational trauma is so present and yet so misunderstood by people who don’t experience it.
