hi-I read and reread these two threads- Rohag said nothing belittling about age Kaitlyn--in fact he said everyone here is equal in their pain-the only place beautifully broken got that from was in the other response-meant well, but i am not in agreement with myself, and neither is beautifullybroken-to clarify and set the record straight-

In Weeping Willow's third paragraph she talks about herself and her brother's growing up and how they grew out of the emotional stages.
That it was just a matter of time to pass this stage.

Sorry, I tried to quote it, but haven't figured out how to do it-all you have to do is read what Rohag wrote to see there is no criticism at all, there is a bit of criticism in what Willow says in saying that "you grow out of it".

She apologizes, but Beautifully Broken does not want to hear that, nor do I--you ne'er grow out of it--I still have my masks--I still am as hurt as ever I was, I just am better able to hide it now.

And it hurts far more when you are a young person than it does at age 55 --believe me--been ther--done that-ugh Be well-theo
