Reading this post made think "that's a bit of traumatic stress right there". I've had a lot of trauma therapy and you're right to let it go. But it's good to talk it out. That helps you heal the anger. I'm glad you're able to let it go already.

In that way, we need to recognise anger as the friend it is, but also learn that when the threat has passed, we don't need it anymore. Thing is, our repressed Western ways don't approve if we express or admit anger - not if we're civilised, and especially if we're Glamourpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450175254756849062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33571361.post-55763545470944458322008-06-02T21:22:00.000-04:002008-06-02T21:22:00.000-04:00I have been in a similar circumstance as you, and ...I have been in a similar circumstance as you, and I agree, it's the forgetting that is the most difficult. I wish I could do it. The anger prevents it.
