Many marriages would have been laid to rest a long time ago, if they were not on a life-support machine called other people’s opinions and/or expectations.

We can’t leave the past in the past because, the past is who we are. It’s like saying I wish I could forget English. So, there is no leaving the past in the past. It doesn’t mean the past has to define and dominate everything in the future. The fact that I had a temper in my teens doesn’t mean I have to be an angry person for the rest of my life. It just means that I had allot to be angry about but, didn’t have the language and the understanding to know what it was and how big it was. I thought my anger was disproportionate to the environment which is what is called having a bad temper but, it just means that I underestimated the environment and my anger was telling me how wide and deep child abuse is in society but, I didn’t understand that consciously so I thought my anger was disproportionate to the environment but, it wasn’t. There is almost no amount of anger that’s proportionate to the degree of child abuse in the world. The fantasy that you can not be somebody that lived through what you lived through is damaging to yourself and to your capacity to relate to others. People who care about you, people who are going to grow to love you need to know who you are and that you were shaped by what you’ve experienced for better and for worse. There is a great deal of challenge in talking about these issues. Lots of people in this world have been hurt as children. Most people have been hurt in this world as children and when you talk honestly and openly it’s very difficult for people. This is why it continues and continues.If you can get to the truth of what happened if you can understand why people made the decisions they’ve made even if you dont agree with the reason for those decisions knowing the reasons for those decisions is enormously important in my opinion. The more we know the truth of history the more confidently we can face the future without self blame.
