Child Soldier Survival And New Life
- Aldis recounts being an 8–12-year-old child soldier in the Balkan wars and surviving abuse under a commander named Sergeant Nicola.
- He later immigrated, was adopted in the U.S., got a GED, college, and now works at a refugee organization doing intakes.
Recognizing Your Abuser At Work
- Aldis recognized his wartime abuser, Sergeant Nicola, during an intake at the refugee NGO and realized the man was now a client he might have to process.
- His first impulse was to kill him, but he chose to seek guidance instead and asked the hosts for help.
Do Not Process His Paperwork
- Stavros and JP advise reporting Sergeant Nicola to supervisors instead of handling his paperwork yourself.
- They recommend refusing to process his application and passing it to colleagues to avoid involvement.
