Absolutely not. Acknowledging that it was fucking awful is the only place from which actual progress can be made. Posting about it is a perfectly valid way to do that and provides an entry point into that conversation, provided people don’t shut it down with toxic positivity.
I hope I didn’t come off as hostile, I just feel the need to go to bat for people dealing with trauma sometimes. Thanks for understanding and take care.
Posting/talking about it this way so many years later is not a constructive use of your time though. Be positive instead, lest you relapse.EDIT: I stand corrected; gratitude. I worded it wrong, my point is that there are better ways. Should not have diminished.

You guys both seem really cool
Thank you. All is well, only a matter of syntax. Aligned, our thoughts are.
I will simply neglect the absence of what I have lost for fear that I will lose more if I acknowledge it.
