Tbh it just matters who your circle is and where you go. I’m from a quaint small nh town but grew up around bad people. My life is unbelievably messed up because even the police don’t believe the life I’ve lived… Like evil people and gangs are everywhere. Trust me they are everywhere and don’t have to fit any stereotype. I know criminals that push work for charities. And it kills me that I’m essentially voiceless. It took a huge toll on my life… I definitely have PTSD and no one believes anything I say. It honestly makes me suicidal.
I’m from small town VT just across the river, and while that hasn’t been my personal experience I absolutely have known people who have had that experience. Small town USA is unbelievably messed up, but everyone likes to act like its only in the cities. Felt like half my town was Section 8, and an actual full 10th of the population was from the county jail on furlough. Since I’ve left, violent crime/murder rate has gone up a lot and heavy drug use is rampant.
Thanks. Luckily I think I have my foot out the door from that shit but I know they still keep tabs on me. It’s really the PTSD that screws with me, it’s never going to go away.
