- | I think that family reunification is one of the most | 0:03 |
difficult moments as one, as, you know, potentially | 0:05 | |
the most joyful, because the expectations are so huge | 0:08 | |
and that's a moment that's been longed for, for so long. | 0:12 | |
And yet I think there's a real fear on both sides that, | 0:15 | |
you know, this is someone who you've loved | 0:21 | |
but who might've changed irreparably. | 0:23 | |
I think I, you know, I think some | 0:28 | |
of the men themselves would, you know, would say that | 0:29 | |
about themselves, that they may not be able | 0:31 | |
to find who they were before to love again. | 0:33 | |
So I think that moment is extremely difficult and | 0:41 | |
you know, to be reunited with someone who | 0:46 | |
with whom you were so intimate before, and to | 0:48 | |
have all the different feelings of shame and mistrust | 0:51 | |
and anger and paranoia and deep sadness and depression | 0:56 | |
and anxiety and all of the, all of those things that you | 1:02 | |
would have and feel like maybe that you don't want to | 1:04 | |
show all of that, you know, that there would be a sort | 1:09 | |
of pressure to show that now, now you're out. | 1:14 | |
Everything is okay, but that's just, just beginning | 1:16 | |
- | And with children is it? | 1:20 |
- | I think it's very difficult with children. | 1:22 |
Of course, you know relationships don't always survive | 1:24 | |
Guantanamo, parental or sibling or marital. | 1:27 |
