[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I think it's not just rewriting history, it's that I have, as an adult, a really different understanding on something that happened when I was a child.   When I was maybe 10, my parents applied to a private school (for me).  I had to do the standard tests and writing and sit in on classes for a day before the admissions decision. The school ended up admitting me on the condition that I see the school therapist, noting that my writing had revealed some issues relating to my older sister's death, and that I felt I was negatively compared to her all the time.   My parents told me about this and told me there was no way in hell I would go to the school, that it was outrageous the school would suggest such a thing.  I believed at the time that my parents were totally right, and I was fine, and the school was crazy.  It's only now as an adult/parent that I see what I missed out on, both in education and in mental health help.  My parents to this day talk about the horrible people at XYZ Academy and how incompetent they were.  [/quote]
