The situation

A grown-up in your life — a parent, a relative, someone you know — lost their temper in a way that frightened you. Not at you, maybe, or maybe at you. The shouting, the slammed door, the size of it. Your body went tense and small, and even after it passed, the scared feeling stuck around. Afterwards everyone acted like it was normal, like nothing happened. But it didn't feel normal to you. You're not sure if you're allowed to still feel shaken, or whether you're overreacting, or who you could even tell about a feeling this big and this hard to explain.
