[Serious] What's the most traumatizing thing you experienced as a child?

Where do I begin? Probably waking up from the screams of my mother because of my father who had passed away on his bed. Seeing her and my sister try to do everything they can. He had a heart attack in his sleep. Either that or the years which followed which included my sister relying heavily on drugs such as meth to try and cope with this loss. Got so bad that she would physically harm me and my mum by kicking, scratching and even trying to burn me with a lit cigarette. Hasn't gotten much better from there either. At a point where I just feel lost. I've forgotten who I am and struggle to cope with grief and other current pain I deal with day to day.
