The 60s and 70s (for me) had no awareness of my problems. Only now am I discovering that I did what I could, but I wasn’t equipped to deal with people well.
It’s too late for me, but I’m glad kids today have more resources, although the problems are just as hard to navigate.
God bless you all.
No, I get what you mean. You should at least forgive yourself because you are a better person now.
That others think you still deserve to be punished is enough. You don’t need to add your pain to the mix, but it is easy to do that.
