Dear Anita,

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed breakdown of each of those points. It is refreshing to receive wisdom from a fresh pair of eyes and ears from someone who is wise, patient, kind, willing to listen intently. Can you provide me with advice to move past these childhood hurts? I will be seeing a psychiatrist in a few months. But I do believe TB is a truly great place to also receive very useful and applicable wisdom, and I thank you for all the wisdom you have provided me thus far. It really shifted my perspective into different angles than I had previously looked to delve into regarding my past. I didn’t realize it was so bad, even though of course we sometimes forget how much hurt and sadness we’ve endured in life.
