It takes years to get over something like this but I suggest that you keep doing your exercises and stretches, do so some leg raises (front and side), squats, and an exercise bike to help with the hip rotation.. it will improve and get better as the months go on. You gotta loosen up your joint and im sure your leg will get straighter too.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
