Cass,
I'm glad to hear that, and I hope it works for you the way doing this does for me. Like I said, even if no one else sees it, I hope it has helped define the shadows hiding in those memories so that you can clearly see them for what they are, and hopefully find some path to move beyond them and put them safely behind you. As draining and as wrenching as this can be, I hope you feel some pride, find some strength in being able to do it.Anon,
Remember that hindsight is 20/20. You may not do it again *now* the way you handled matters back then, but it does sound like you have moved on, you have put it behind you. That's the most important thing, I think -- the day you can say, "I made it though, I left it behind, and I'm still alive, not in stasis in that moment."Cheers,
Bob
