Does it help when you are compensated for your loss in some ways?
For example, you were abused in your past relationship.
But now you are with someone who treats you well.
While current happiness doesn't erase the past, does it not compensate for some of your losses? Or no?
It is so hard for me to get over being used and think about how I lost money to people who were deceptive (people I gave money to because I believed their sob stories, or people who took advantage and failed to pay me back in full).
The past wouldn't matter if I am well off now.
But because I am still financially struggling, it's hard for me to get over the bitterness and regrets.
I hope that makes sense.
