Exemplar	I was born in the jungle. My son was born in the jungle.		Back in Burma, my dad threatened me. He is passed away now. I was useless. I was only 12. We had to run away from the Burmese Army to find food. He said I’m going to drown you, kill you. The BA is trying to kill you, and your dad is doing that.			With me my heart is aching if I hear really loud noises. My heart feels like I have to run away. If my neighbor is really loud, I don’t feel safe. I want to use the bathroom. I can’t sit still. Memory comes back in my body.
