Tonight, I ran into someone who hurt me very badly when I was in high school. He brought up the topic in a round about way. And, after around 13 years, I said, "You hurt me in ways you don't even understand." He hugged me and said, "and I'm sorry in ways I don't even understand." I said, "It's okay now. Life moves on. You're okay." Then, I walked out of the store without crying.
BOOM! How's THAT for confronting one of those "traumatic events"?!?
I wish I had told him I forgive him, but I'm not sure I do - not like I need to. But, I'm not even adding that to my list of crap to worry about.
