    I remember Thomas saying that shortly after she got back, Emily told him that she thought she had been away for nearly a year. That was how long it felt to her, and children don't have the same concept of time that adults do anyway. How can a child process or ever fully recover from something like that? One thing I'm thankful about is that at least nobody physically hurt her - other than not giving her enough food - and that she was there with people who cared about her and looked after her. The thought of a child going through something like that alone is unimaginable.

      Resilience is only partial. Some aspects of her trauma will not come to the surface until she's older when her mind allows it. This child needs to reconnect with her childhood before the kidnapping so that part of her isn't frozen in time, so she can restore her sense of autonomy and value and self- reliance and fully heal.

      You need to study some recent history about what has happened since 1948 and see how complicit Israel, was in creating the Hamas as it is now. Hamas started like a local government to run Gaza. The tunnels were built to get food into Gaza and other essential items for hygiene and health, especially for women. Of course goats and sheep. You probably don't even know Israel has sheets of paper with a table showing what food could go in to keep all on a minimum calorie diet, it can be found if you look. Israel fostered Hamas in order to ensure there was never any agreement between The West Bank and Gaza, a " divide and rule" policy. Just check the behavior of the government, look at the facts and you will see the government of Israel is so consumed with hate there is nothing they won't do to grab power. Read what people write, not of course the Israeli propaganda that will just take you down the rabbit hole.

    My heartfelt love goes out to this dear man and Emily who have been through such cruel terror and trauma ,and to all of the remai ing hostages and their waiting and hoping relatives and friends . I do worry thought that interviewing Emily and her dad ,it must upset her when he says certain things, such as the guilt he feels at other hostages still held captive anf that the family is broken , incase she feels she has to put on a brave face for her dad during the interview . She's very young and has seen the war from a very different viewpoint to his and knows exactly what it was like .She may feel protective of her dad and has to pretend sometimes so as notto upset him in such interviews .It'a a difficult situation for a child to be in. I pray that she will recover a more in time , but I don't think it will ever be completely erased from her mind ,or any of the other hostages and their families . Every time I see Emily and her dad , i just want to hug them .🤍

    As a survivor of childhood trauma, I know how hard it can be as a Christian woman. However, I take comfort in the fact that God never leaves or forsakes us. I experienced sexual abuse and psychological manipulation, which has led me to be hyper-vigilant and always check doors and shower curtains. But, as Emily grows up, I believe she will have an advantage because Emily will have a quiet voice within her that most people don't pay attention to. This voice will help her recognize evil and give her a warning. In my life, this has happened a few times, but unfortunately, some people don't listen. However, I know that Emily's dad will always believe her, and her small safe voice will be a gift to those who need it. She will be able to give great advice and warn her friends family members and anyone who is having trouble with certain people who have bad intentions, like pedophiles , and scammers. Her instinct will be spot-on, and she will be able to tell if someone is not to be trusted. I believe that her quiet voice is the Holy Spirit, and it will guide her to help others.

    I feel and understand you
    so much.
    At least your dearest daughter with you now, so you shall find comfort and peace again,
    Amen💙🙏
    Please just to let you know, I am still shocked and sad😔 since that Black Saturday...
    Imagine, I could have been there myself, because I was a soldier in Kibbutz Nirim, in early 1960's.
    When I terminated my army service there, some of my group of soldiers, stayed in Nirim, others in Nir-Oz, to join the community there, and became members of Kibbutz .
    But I had small brothers and sisters, and had to leave the Kibbutz and go back to the city, to help my family...
    For many years after, when I became independent, living and working in noisy city... I always regretted so much, that I could not choose to stay in the Kibbutz...
    Just to think, I could have been pulled by my hair, and dragged to the unknown dark place, with them monsters... "Zetim"
    So my life was saved, but others lost their homes and their lives
    in a mess...
    I was so shuttered , on that Saturday...
    I had no idea it was so terrible no less than
    S h o a 😢
    Every day since that day, I see and hear such painful facts. It torture me emotionally, about other captives still in Gaza, and so sad for every Israeli soldier, killed or wounded in the war😢
    Hope you don't mind me writing all this to you, I only mean, I am glad for you, that you and your daughter together, and wish thst you shall overcome all that bad dream...
    Be strong healthy and secure and happy, always 🌿🌴💙🙏

    I was extensively sexually abused as a child. I said nothing to protect others. My abuser specifically told me that if I told, my dad would kill him. Which meant my dad would go to prison. And my mom would be so distraught she’d shoot her self. And me and my brother would end up separated in foster care. As a child and teenager I was okay. I managed. I didn’t think about it. I did have some pretty intense anger issues but it never seemed directly correlated. I went to concerts. At 16 I wanted to move out for the summer and get a job in chincoteague VA. I was FINE. Anxious and a bit depressed but nothing egregious. Suddenly at age 22 everything came back to me. I began having physical flashbacks. I remember one day my mom shushed me, and rage suddenly shot through my body and I growled “don’t ever fucking shush me again!”. This caught her so off guard. It caught ME off guard. I wanted to strike my own mother for simply shushing me because my aunt was sleeping. Something wasn’t right here. I was thinking about it when suddenly I had a graphic flashback of being shushed by my abuser. I’m 28, currently disabled, on SSI, because most of my days are spent managing and processing my symptoms. Healing and reprocessing has become my full time job. I never realized the way my trauma effected me. I became severely agoraphobic and stopped leaving the house. I wouldn’t leave the house to even go to the doctor. I don’t trust doctors. I don’t trust anyone who may have authority over my body while I’m unaware. Thankfully I have probably the best therapist a person could have. He’s helped me profoundly.
    Edit, just to be clear. My symptoms were so bad because I regressed so much. I used escapism and other tools that weren’t healthy or based in reality. I told no one until late teens and adult hood. If I had received proper therapy as a child and processed this shit correctly, my life would’ve been profoundly different.

    A little girl was kidnapped by monsters. I can see the same monsters supporting them And what they did from the Times Square
    It’s a shame for the authorities to aloud it, by the way, the same people were celebrating at 9-11. I wish for the brave family the father the the girl good body and metal health.

      She looks great and seems perfectly fine. The children that are actually traumatized are the children of Gaza who fear bombs being dropped on them 24-7 while they slowly starve to death. Thousands of children in Gaza have already been murdered by Israel. Israelis have selective sympathy.

      Totally Agree with you, Drew. Now, we Have to separate the Good from the evil ones in society everywhere. We have to cut off relationships with these antisemite worms and keep an eye on them for Violence by them. The US.🇺🇸 has to deport all Antisemite from the country.

    My best friend was in Israel right before the attack. He left just a week or two before. I am grateful every day! I pray for the hostages every day. As someone who has lost, I understand the grief the families go through on a feeling level. When you don't know if a lived one is alive or dead you can go into grief easily. Grief takes over your body, like a hibernation. It can't be stopped, only worked through. I hope all their loved ones return.
