I am sure that this journey
where you confront the past will be cathartic but end in a good place.

I think you are doing wonderfully. You're very honest and sincere. I'm not sure many would display the courage you've shown in this situation.

it's not easy to face them, is it? And running away seems to be far easier but it never accomplishes anything!

Yes, I do believe that each of us comes with growth in mind. But, your situation seems to present especially challenging circumstances.

Denial is neither weightless nor friendly, Julia. Your story is very
engaging.

Too true
I've ttried to run away from things too, but, as you said, the weight of the burden gets only heavier and heavier. We must face our demons, as difficult as that may be.

isn't that what we all do in our lives? with different circumstances, sure, but I've always thought that growth and learning was the purpose for a human existence.

I won't even pretend to know what you are going through. What I will say is this: you have my email if you ever need it. I had to learn that I was not responsible for my parents actions and the same for you. There was nothing you could have done.

Julia, I'm sorry you feel you have to go through this again. None of it was your fault. I hope talking about it is helping you to feel better. God bless.

Julia, I can totally understand how you reacted. I know that I would have done the same under the circumstances. In fact, I could not even tell people that my brother committed suicide. It was like something too horrible to tell.
