Is it normal to fear something even after it's gone?
This year I went to college and moved in with a host family. That was the only thing I could afford.
To make it more simple, let's say they were the Dursley's family. They wouldn't say "Good morning", "Hello" or "Thank you". They would blame me for things I didn't do. They'd give me bad looks when I had no idea what I had done wrong. The mom would scream to her daughters. The doors were slammed all the time... and this kind of thing. I lived there for six months and I never saw the Mom hug her daughters or say a simple "I love you" to them.
When I was finally able to move out they called me ungrateful for not appreciating my stay there. The mom told me I was a horrible person for not giving a damn about what they had done for me.
I am now living alone. I feel like I'm a new person, really XD But still... It's been almost 2 months and I'm all the time thinking about that place... and how horrible those people made me feel. It's gone!! It's so gone. There's no way ever I'll be living there again, but my mind keeps fearing that place.
Why? Is this normal? Have you ever feared something that was gone? What did you do to get over it?
