“EVERYBODY. PUT. YOUR. HANDS. UP!” These very words that haunt me as a grown up. I was 5 years old at the time, in my living room in the middle of the afternoon.

Suddenly, men in black broke the door down and rushed in, pointing guns at everyone yelling. I froze in fear my eyes scanning for safety but none in sight.
_
I was only five, but I knew that day that something horrible was happening – all I felt was complete and utter terror. I was crying uncontrollably, I did not understand what was happening. I remember running to my mom, but I was ripped from her arms, thrown on the floor and held down by a masked person.
_
I was screaming and fighting to get up, my mom was fighting to get us. She was pulled to the room, the door slammed. I was so very scared, and the chaos around me was making me even more hysterical. I couldn’t comprehend what was going on around me, I was only five!
_
That all changed the minute my parents were escorted out of their bedroom in handcuffs; that is the very moment when I understood who these men in black were, they were the police. This was a drug raid....
_
My childhood was consistently full of experiences such as the drug raid, experiences when I did not feel safe in the very place I should have felt safe. I was an innocent child that never chose to live in a home that would never really be a safe a haven.
_
I feel like these experiences explain why I’ve never really felt “safe” why I’m constantly moving and running as an adult. This is actually the prologue to my book 📖 Hoping to get it out soon ❤️. Do you have childhood traumas that changed you as an adult? Let me know in the comments?
