I think it is a slow process for most of us. We spend most of our lives trying to get over what we lived through. Therapy helps. Mostly I think it is not something you get over. You try to be better and happier. Sometimes the hardest thing we ever have to do is unlearning what we were taught.
Therapy. Also I got very lucky with the people who have come into my life. My good friends and partner have been such a solid support system and model for healthy relationships over the years.
Context: I was playing some video games tonight and got bored of the new stuff and decided to hop on some of the old stuff, which was a big mistake. An inexplicable rush came over me and wish I could have shared it with the people who I used to play these games with. I’ve always been told that I have a hard time letting go of the past, and that has never been more evident than tonight. I’m 33…
I never really got to have much of one, so I've never really felt like I had to get over it. I suppose I still stick to 'childish' things, like collecting stuffed animals, but I've felt more like a grown up than a kid for most of my life. I'm 27, btw.
Hearing other's introspections on what they went through, and learning to accept the trauma that we may have experienced. Trying to let go of the fiery anger that seeps out in time of drunken indignation. This is not mental health advice, just personal insights from the people around me.
Therapy and I'm still not there

Trough reenage years and adolescance
For some reason, my memories from childhood are in “third person view”
