i have traumatic kin memories involving war, but i feel bad for even mentioning i have them, especially since its from a war that also happened in this world. i feel like if i talk about how bad it was or how it hurts me, ill get shut down and told not to be disrespectful, which i understand but, that doesnt make the pain any better :/

Anon, I understand. That’s a tough position to be in. I think that you should be able to talk about and express these experiences and feelings in a kin setting without being called disrespectful. I am sure if you make sure to write a brief ‘disclaimer’ that you didn’t experience these things directly, but as visions. received memories etc (however you want to explain it) then reasonable people will not bother you about it.
