I remember commenting in passing to new friends I made here after moving 2100 miles away to where i didn't know anyone but made friends. It was interesting a few years later when a topic came up where I shared a little about what I went through, they were amazed at what I had lived through & things like that do happen & how scary it was as if I had never said anything before. The good thing is that the new people in my life hadn't defined me by what I had gone through.
