[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP. I had something similar happen and I "took the high road" because I felt bad for the woman. But it nagged at me for years. Still get triggered when I think about it or see a name like hers (it's a unique name). It"s been 20 years. Moving won't do anything. I constructed a narrative in my head that I would share if anyone brought it up. I think I simply felt helpless and victimized by it, as if I had no recourse. Because, well, I didn't. Now, for whatever reason, I feel stronger and more empowered. I think now I would talk less about the events and more how they made me feel. Bullied. Embarrassed to have people think that about me (and some mutual friends did). Alone. Isolated. Even as I type out those words, I feel stronger. Shame magnifies this type of pain, I think.[/quote]
