After the death of Annie’s grandfather, Oma sold the Pittsburgh house and moved into a penthouse apartment in Shadyside along with her friend Mary.

Psychological trauma is an “injury” resulting from directly experiencing, witnessing or hearing a distressing, disturbing, threatening or frightening event (Australian Psychology Society). Trauma can be a single event or multiple that can have adverse effects in a person’s cognitive, emotional, behavioral, physiological and occupational functioning (Perry, 1994). Multiple trauma can be complex trauma, developmental trauma or complex PTSD. Complex trauma is usually at an early onset, and the experience is multiple, chronic and prolonged exposure to traumatic events, mostly interpersonal in nature (Van der Kolk, 2005).

In further research, 24.1% from the ages 16 and 17 responded that someone from school has committed suicide and which 20.1%
After a person experiences sexual assault, the social reactions the survivor receives when they disclose their assault can cause posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Negative responses have the ability to deter a survivor on their recovery path and influence coping strategies that do more harm than help, and can discourage a survivor from seeking help from others. Positive reactions can provide a powerful effect against negative outcomes, could affect the sense of control over the recovery process, influence positive social coping skills, as well as reduce the symptoms of PTSD. These encouraging reactions improve adaptive coping strategies and perceived control over recovery, and in turn reduce the risk of maladaptive coping. However,

Some instances became forgotten when trying to rebuilt Avon’s empire. The death of DeAndre was glanced over as a simple suicide, while those closest to him had their doubts. Once McNulty came asking questions to DeAndre’s baby mamma, her relentless questions made his mother to connect the dots.
