When I ask the detectives assigned to my case about Mason, I get an answer I don’t believe-that there were no traces of any other kidnapped kids. So I start my own form of therapy-but writing about my experience awakens uncomfortable memories, ones that should’ve stayed buried. Therapists are clueless and condescending. But they don’t understand that dining out and shopping trips can’t heal what’s broken inside me. Now that I’m home, my parents and friends want everything to be like it was before I left.
