Yet We Were Children: Yet We Were Just Children

By Dion Chuma

I felt frustrated and helpless as I watched my family struggles, particularly when we have experienced a lot of traumas from the time we were born. I realized that my usual calming techniques are still not successful in these taxing times. My feelings of frustration, stress, and anxiety have been influenced by my desire to create a positive and supportive environment for my family and those who may have experienced childhood traumas like us. Bad things happened in my life before I became what I am today. I'm still recovering from the bad experiences, however, I am still contemplating on what might have been, if this war had not happened. The war that left my family in disarray and misery. Yet I managed to play with my friends. As if I did not have troubling issues. Now I'm an adult and I have a home for myself. It's been hard, but I'm living a life lye chosen. As a father, I now understand the importance of a father and mother in a child's life. I need to be there for my children, although a I did not have a mentor, my father, to show me and teach me how to be a good father. I learnt the hard way. I am still able to love my family, care for my family and fulfil the obligations that a father must administer to his family. I feel responsible - I must use my bad experiences to make things better for my children and other children out there. Sometimes it feels like a weight I'm carrying, unless some listens. Thus, this book means a lot to me, my family and my friends Contributor Notes Thank you to all my family, my friends and my forever grateful wife for your support.
