[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds to me like you're quite fortunate in life not to have real, pressing concerns from right now to occupy your anxiety-bin, and instead dwell on something that happened a quarter century ago.

I wish I were so lucky. [/quote]

OP here. I hope that you have support and help to deal with the pressing concerns you are dealing with. And I also want to say that we never know what people are dealing with. I am a cancer survivor, mom or a SN kid, and helping my mom as she takes care of my father, with dementia. This is not about competitive grieving, and I am not dwelling on something that happened a quarter century ago. I am trying to attend to my mental and emotional health so I can be the best person possible to my family.

I don't mean this to sound harsh, but invite you to think that we all have it tough in life. [/quote]

It's nice to see someone respond kindly to a harsh post. Good for you, OP. In answer to your question, time itself does not heal all wounds. You have to allow yourself to process it, then what time will do is let you get used to the pain. You would have processed this childhood experience by now if the adults had talked with you and helped you to do so.

Better late than never, though. My husband had a lot of childhood trauma, was a mess all of his life, and only started therapy in his late 40s. [b]He's like a changed man, now, having finally begun to process and move forward.[/b] You'll have to let yourself feel the pain that comes with healing, and then you'll feel better.[/quote]

I liked reading this. [/quote]
