Does anyone ever feel that nobody understands you and your connection with the D.R? I know that everytime I return from my stays, I experience major culture shock and it takes me awhile to return to the North American lifestyle. No one seems to understand why I'm so withdrawn or upset at times. They don't seem to understand the impact of everything that I have seen and experienced, while I stayed there. The people I met, the poverty I saw, the different lifestyle. It has a huge impact on me and even now, I have not visited for a long 9 months because of school, I still have times when I'm sad or miss it so much and no one understands or even wants to listen. Does anyone else feel the same way, or is it just me???????
