More than half of the participants thought that they coped fairly well (n=44) (Figure
20), although most of the respondents (n=48) claimed that somebody help them to
cope, mostly support groups (n=24) and family (n=15) (Figure 21). Many respondents
blamed a paramilitary organisation or society in general for what happen, while some
blamed the Government (Figure 22).
