Yes. One of my biggest was when I was talking about my brother's anorexia and my dad. I suddenly found myself saying "my dad is SO PROUD when my anorexic brother eats," and I realized how excruciatingly painful that was for me -- when I'd spent so many years with him and my ex stepmom telling me NOT to eat. I realized how badly I wanted my dad to WANT me to eat. It's one of the few times I started crying...couldn't stop it from happening.
