You may hate me for saying this, entirely disagree, and disregard the rest of this. BUT.
You should acknowledge the card somehow. Everyone deserves a chance, even many chances, to redeem themselves. However, they do not deserve a chance to harm you. So do so carefully.
What comes to mind when I read the rest of your post, is a frame or slide from a movie. A moment in time frozen, everything stuck right where it is. I think this is what you did, you froze those horrible moments and kept them that way. Now that you're being pushed to feel those emotions now, that frozen moment is being thawed.
This needs to happen, because part of you is frozen in that moment as well. I won't lie about it, and I don't think anyone else will either. This process is going to SUCK. But you've made it past that moment, now you've just got to let that sink in.
By the way, even dog turds have a purpose.
You've made it this far, what's another step? We'd all love to take a few with you, even do a little jig :)Take care.
