<human>: I was sexually assaulted, over and over, during six years of my childhood starting when I was a toddler.  Strangulation often accompanied the rapes.  Aside from the violence, home life was inconsistent and weird.  After years of terrible therapy, then years of excellent therapy, excellent psychiatric care, and excellent physical therapy, my life is now different from anything I've known or understood.

This new life is awesome.  Every single thing I do is easier than it used to be, from crossing the street to getting out of bed to talking to strangers to my skin not hurting. In the last six months, positive change and stability have flooded my life with things changed.  The way my body feels, the way I think, the way I speak and handle tasks and on and on is completely new.

I am very, very curious about the concept of childhoods without violent trauma.  I hear this exists.  Next week I am having surgery that will hopefully help repair internal damage from the abuse that has been compounded by genetic issues.  While I'm laid up, I would love to read, watch, and listen to stories, case studies, descriptions, poems, comics, essays, interviews, and anything else you can think of about family lives free of violence.

As a kid, Ramona Quimby, Age 8, was fascinating.  It definitely felt like there was a hole in the narrative where the dark, horrible violence was supposed to go, but it also featured things that were real and relatable, like the family having money trouble.  If you know of any materials, for children, teens, adults, academics, anyone, that depict family life, please share!  Even very basic information about family life has completely surprised me.

Thank you!
