I don't know if you're expecting tears, wailing and Hollywood drama? My wife works with people with serious childhood trauma every single day (yes, honestly, far worse than Wade and James' accounts which people seem to think are graphic. You have no idea.) and their emotional state is perfectly in keeping with people recounting past trauma.

They come across as anxious, bewildered and deeply, deeply sad to plenty of us. You might not be able to see it; but you need to stop stating emphatically that they do it "with no emotion" and realise that that's just your own observation and not a universal truth.
