Fucking finally got the trauma therapy license I was suddenly in the middle of when we got back from space. Never let me decide I need more qualifications. "Captain America, MSW, LPC" is already getting a bit excessive.

	It's a lot to bring up. I'm telling James about the Howling Commandos. --Did you know this kid is my son? With Natasha? He calls me Dad and I don't know how to respond. He's pretty messed up. Reminds me of Bucky when I first got him back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We had Dum Dum around for a bit, but I can't remember if they talked much. The "with Natasha" bit is what's really crazy to me.

He's kinda confusing to talk to. Jumps around a bit, I didn't really get much out of him. Might be something like C-PTSD, it's related to shellshock but it's more likely from prolonged interpersonal trauma that involves a power imbalance and a sense of being captive with no escape. Treatment's mostly about establishing a sense of safety and reconnecting with the closer community and society as a whole.

	Yeah, I don't get the "with Natasha" part either. That's a lot of... words. I've been trying to connect with him, I hope that helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh, being stuck in a situation where someone has absolute power over you fucks you up, basically. You see it a lot with serious child abuse because it stops kids from being able to form a proper identity, everything they do is about keeping someone else happy. So, yeah, relating to him as a person's pretty important. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He acts a little stunted, maybe something triggered a "reset button" on him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe. There are case studies on the effects of long term captivity but HYDRA's a completely different level and they had sixty years to learn from Bucky and the Red Room and whatever else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shame on you, what will the children think? It's sure as hell a lot to think about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You all are bad influences on me. It is. I'm trying to work with him. I might come to you and ask you questions from time to time. I hope you don't mind, considering it's another version of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was literally coming back from a missionary trip when I met you in my timeline, I'm pretty sure you were a bad influence first. Huh, does that mean you indirectly corrupted yourself? No, definitely. A few twists of fate and that could have been me. I'm hanging back because that's what he wants but it's good to know there's people looking out for him.

	Hey, I was raised on the streets of Brooklyn. I had a dirty mouth as a kid. Straightened up when I got a little older. When my parents died. Thought I had to be an adult and talk like one. I'm looking out for him, don't you worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mostly got good at changing how I talked depending who was around. As far as my mama was concerned I was going to college and that meant perfect standard English. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
