You can say it wasn't that bad AFTER you've dealt with your feelings; if you say it wasn't that bad BEFORE, then that's called denial. At least rain has been able to have a normal life - kids, grandkids - in spite of everything. I sure haven't.
I don't know, hankster. I thought I dealt with my feelings about my brother, but maybe not. I have a need to tell my T where it hurts, physically and emotionally. Probably to make up for not telling my parents.
