@Krysdammit how terrible. no wonder you are still being affected.
imo the whole population has been in post trauma from the inception of 'civilization'. Nature aint the only one red in tooth and claw.
peace, friend

I believe that that sort of trauma affects our DNA. My dad's side of the family was scattered around the globe. I use my rl name on my fb account. Children of my cousins are finding us, on a different continent, almost 70 years after the war ended. We thought that our respective branches no longer excisted. Ppl who are terrorized, and paranoid for good reason, react in ways they normally wouldn't.
Individual ppl learn lessons. Countries don't seem to.

@Krysdammit agree completely.
the species as a whole is damaged.
it dont bode well for continuance.
fortunately, each of us has the potential and imo the right to evolve.
