So your adolescence and / or childhood sucked. Yes, it was hard. Acknowledged. Don't let it consume and subsume your life. Well, that is the message after 20 odd years of therapy. I understand and do the best I can. My partner and I are in a funny head space. We had couples' counseling this week with her therapist and I wound up discussing things long-processed and analyzed. Clearly, this area is still sensitive.
I sincerely hope our kids our not burdened with the long, never-ending issues my partner and I cope with. Just when you think it's been buried under an avalanche of other memories or it's been discussed so much it should be in a psychological journal, something shifts and it is less urgent. But it remains. Ah, man. More needs to be written .

my theory is that we're wired to revisit the same themes over and over. you can look at this poetically but i suspect the psychology and neurochemistry go hand in hand here.
Yes, I think you're onto something!
