Been there! Past is past. Got over it. Let it go. Even as a military brat thought T, a civilian, just couldn't understand. That's just how it was for everyone..Dads gone, moving, 4 high schools in 4 years. Perfectly normal. No need for tears or wish-it-had -been -different whinning. Until a year ago. Good or bad, I adapted the best I could. The only ways I could. I was a kid. Patterns in adult life were laid down way back then. Choices I make now can be traced back. No crying now. Just knowledge of why. Best of all, acknowledging those patterns & why I have them, gives me a choice to continue them or change them.
