DAE worry that people who read your posts won't think your trauma was that bad?

Lol yeah I frequently worry about this, and struggle with how much to say. But at the same time, I don't want to be vulnerable, so I hardly say anything at all. It's not even just as simple as I was emotionally/physically/sexually abused. That all happened, but there was also the thing like my uncle and dad taking me out somewhere and interrogating and threatening to beat me, but that's a whole story in itself. Or the 2 junkies that broke into our yard with a dog and attacked my cousin when I was young. Or hearing domestic violence next door. Seeing my uncles wife beat my cousin violently for refusing a marriage. My cousin a few years older who was kinda sexually inappropriate with me. The stalking from my dad, the refuges, my stepdad holding us hostage in the house. Hearing my stepdad strangle my mum. Seeing neighbours carried out dead on stretchers. Living out in mums car age 12. Being aggressively punished. My grandfather tying up my cousin and burning him. There's just like so much. Where do I even start?
