A few weeks ago, I saw a tiktok of a person mockingly saying, “when his only ‘trauma’ is his parents getting divorced” and I haven’t stopped thinking about it for a while. It is a common idea that frustrates me beyond belief. Just because a traumatic experience is common and or not “as bad” as other traumatic experiences does not make it any less traumatic. Seeing your parents separate and having to deal with that for your entire childhood is very hard. Especially if there’s fighting and bitterness between the two parties, which, once again, is very common. Trauma is trauma. Is there different levels of severity? Yes. Does that make it any less valid. No. Not at all. No child should have to deal with trauma, even if that trauma isn’t “that bad” or common. And a person’s experience with that trauma should never be belittled.
