I actually saw red a few times when that happened. By the time I left, if I would have had a baseball bat, I would have sent him sailing every time I heard that word. It is used so many places with different meanings than he used it for but for several years, that word would ring in my ears every time I heard it. Doesn't bother me 14 years later. Not even sure when it stopped bothering me. I understand but it was definitely something I had to bring under my control

My apologies for presenting a potential trigger. I'm glad to know that there is possibility for moving past certain things to the point where it no longer matters. It was a major step forward for me not to lose emotional control when experiencing a bad memory today. I think even a week or 2 ago I would have ended up a sobbing mess curled up in bed.
