(wow, i just called myself a sufferer...lolz.) And due to it being such a traumatic experience, my mind has shut most of the memories of that time away, only allowing the memories to resurface when it feels I'm more prepared to handle them, such as when I'm typing. Again, I'm trying my hardest to remember some of the other details to fix the flaws I know are there, so I'm editing it in Google docs as well as here as the memories come back.

The issue is the manner in which you are telling it is really detracting from any sense of believability here. There are multiple issues here that feel out-of-place or added in. If you are insisting this happened but not trying to explain these issues or give valid reasons (for why parents would agree to take a girl home from another country without alerting the police, why masked men are wandering around a neighborhood with masks, hoods, and massive weapons, etc., you are opening yourself up to people declaring the story is fake. As you claim this story is true, it creates this disconnect when these plot issues come up.
