Hi, sorry for jumping into someone else's conversation like this... but this is a pretty important subject to me, and I think your way of talking about it makes a lot of sense.

I used to think that some things about my past would be better off being forgotten for good, but recently I've thought about painful truth as kind of like a disease. It hurts, and it can ruin lives, but if you deny it, it doesn't make that pain go away... and if you confront it and understand it, not only can you treat it, but you might be able to learn something that could prevent other people from suffering through the same things you did.

Does that make sense at all? I might just be rambling.
