every day I think about martha jones and her family.
they went through something so god damn insane, just to have it technically never really happen (at least most of it)
I mean, what after that? It was 2008, society hadn’t deep dived into trauma recovery back then as much as we have now. It’s not like the family could go see a therapist; what would they say? “yeah we were imprisoned for 365 days by an alien prime minister”
They were left to recover entirely on their own
I think about Martha’s mom the most. she was so shattered, how did she come back from that? How did she stop flinching every time someone knocked on the door or rang the phone? She seemed the type I would expect to question everything - including existence. so did she sit and wonder every day why it had to happen to her? And did she ever recover? If I were her, I would’ve fallen so deep into that trauma, I wouldn’t have seen a way out.
In conclusion: Martha Jones and her family are so strong, they deserved better, and I can’t imagine how they survived the trauma of being on the valiant
