A post that deserves to be read and shared. A lot to learn. True, it is not worth wallowing in what was..... There are people who even use this as a weapon to hurt others or to make them feel guilty all the time. Sometimes no matter how much effort there is to overcome, this other person reminding you of what you did. Sometimes that doesn't help to close the wounds.
It's great what you did with uncle and the evolution he has had.
I couldn't just let him be and as fate would have it, I saw him while shopping for groceries yesterday. I sent the link to this post and he was happy.
Letting go can be really challenging sometimes but holding on to pain is not worth it. The best decision is to pick our life pieces together and get going.
