Good pondering there. Makes one wonder if all the bad things in life are lessons to learn from, not lessons to define who you are. With a result being a wiser self, maybe to reach out for a destiny of helping others?
I will have to agree that if some things had not happened I would have probably not looked into CPTSD more, wouldn't have been here. Then I look at the good as to what has come out of this and I've learned so much, met so many wonderful people. So I know there are some good things that come out of bad situations, for me at least. Wish this would have come sooner but my mantra is "All things, in their proper time"
