What would you do if your boyfriend told you very late in your relationship that he was traumatized as a child (up to this very day) from witnessing a woman being r@ped and a man being castrated (while conscious)?
I ask this since this is actually the case with me. My girlfriend and I have been dating for 3 years already and she kept on asking me why I constantly feel uneasy watching graphing horror and thriller movies involving r@pe and castration. I constantly respond to her saying "nothing". When I was 9 years old, I used to live in a creepy and bad neighborhood with old homes along with a couple of violent sex offenders living in it. I remember taking a shortcut to my neighborhood after being at a friend's house, walking through a dark alley (leading me to my area). I make it to my neighborhood while still in my alley and then the next thing you know, I see a group of people in creepy masks/hoods ganging up on a couple, r@ping a woman while castrating a man with a switchblade, all covered in blood around their hands and forearms. I just was just standing their with a frightened look and in shock mode and then these group of masked people noticed me witnessing them and then took off running as fast as a I can. I ran back to my house feeling so traumatized. I couldn't comfortably sleep at all that day. D:
After all these years and being with my girlfriend for 3 years, I never told her that I was traumatized from this as I fear that I'll be looked as weak for showing any fear and traumatization that I've suffered mentally.
