Hi Michelle, It can be upsetting to see something that you have actually experienced and the trauma that goes with it, you have been through a lot ,if you can accept it has happened to you, but you have coped and you are here ,your boy is here, focus on positive thoughts,you are a survivor so is your son, you beat the odds. It is always our thoughts that make us feel bad, so when they come into your head say : Begone bad thoughts " dont go there, distract /ground yourself...you are a winner, dont even watch any TV that makes you feel upset ! Good Luck
