Plastic Fork. Thank you for writing this. I did pause to read and think about what you said. It makes me sad to hear all that remorse and regret, I live with the same. On the other hand I think you could've always stayed in that other place and never realized this, it may have been easier but I think as hard as this is it is better. It is maddening to me that our past has such a strong pull on us that it taints our thoughts and actions for so long and then we look at what we have done, what we have become and wonder if it can be changed.
I agree that we have a responsibility to each other to help one another to avoid these things being repeated, maybe that is the best we can do as we cannot unfortunately go back and change the past. Thanks for your insight.
