The bad part about having to start grieving years after trauma is that no one tells you there's a socially acceptable time limit to start feeling and acting better. You can't show that you're upset, because who would understand that you can only now process horrors from the past.
Why can't you do it some other time, when there isn't so much going on? Why aren't you 'over it' yet?
Because that's not how trauma works.
And that's another thing to grieve.
