Faithisalive,

My 10 year anniversary arrived last May and my mother sent me the invitation in the mail because it had been delivered to her house. I, too, hesitated because a part of me wanted to go back and show all of those people how good I was doing now, but then the other part of me felt so sick to my stomach to even think about all the "CRAP" that went on back in those days and all the people that helped make those things happen, and how awful my high school days were for me and how I told myself that I never ever wanted to feel like that again and how I never was going to and I immediately ripped that invitation to shreds and immediately felt better!! Do not feel pressured by a friend to attend a reunion that you do not want to attend. If you are feeling triggered in any way by this event, think about why that is..and whether or not it is worth it to you..if its not, and Im thinking its probably not, than let your friend know. If they are really your friend, they will understand! You HAVE to think about YOURSELF in these instances first. Good luck!
