My dad was in the Canvey Island Floods (1950s, killed 2,500 people in Europe, 58 people on Canvey Island, an island on the Thames in the UK). he lost two baby brothers.
He's never, ever, talked to me or my sister about it.
But has been on TV more than once about it.
I can't even begin to imagine what you went through, but the brain has strange defence mechanisms when it comes to dealing with stuff like that.
I'm sure people would read it, but that doesn't mean you have to write it if you don't want to.
