Not that this even remotely compares, but I completely understand how you feel. I befriended/dated a guy who later went on a shooting rampage at his former university and that led to me being suspended from my university for 6 weeks and threatened by university staff until I committed myself into a mental health unit.

The initial traumatic event definitely sucks, but all the aftermath that follows you into every aspect of your life...that's what really fucks with you.

Of the shooting, sure: http://articles.cnn.com/2008-02-14/us/university.shooting_1_gunman-university-president-john-peters-police-chief-donald-grady?_s=PM:US (Sorry for the link format, I'm on my phone and it's being lame.)Any mention of me? Only some relatively inaccurate stuff in an article in Esquire magazine and a more recently released book by the same author, with a fake name because I wouldn't consent to an interview and the information was leaked from the police. That's not really something you jump at the chance to be publicly associated with. Only a handful of people know about the rest of the crap that followed. Not cool at all.

Have you developed any super powers as a result?

Oh and in the Esquire article and book, I look like a total asshole. I like to think my sense of humor just didn't translate very well...damn you, media.

I suppose that's all a good bonus, but it would be cool if you could move things with your mind. Or explode things. That might develop later in life though.
