you are more then welcome here. we are a family here of anyone who has
worked on the front lines, many of what you saw is similar to what we
have. many of us have found the cases involving chilren are those that
stay with us the longest, so someone who dealt primarily with children,
definatly belongs here.

we all understand what it is like to live with PTSD - some of us are at
different stages of healing - some are still right in the grips....but
we are all here for any support you need.
