It’s great for you that you can move on so quickly, but I think it’s a mistake to assume others can or should. Your experience is not the same as others, and your situation isn’t either.

In my case, I have pets and a young child living with me. The dogs may get over the violated sense of safety quite easily, but my little girl likely wouldn’t. It’s imperative to her healthy development that I be able to provide her a safe, secure place to live that also feels safe and secure.

Call me selfish but that overrides my concerns for the chaotic state of other peoples’ lives: their problems do not entitle them to harm my family.
