Get rid of them, its is freeing. Like a weight off your chest, and scary.
I have to agree with Jack on this one. Just the thought of reading the message logs that I found brings back hurtful memories. When W was here and working on things it was easy to bury those memories, but with W having moved out of the house, I find many of the memories percolating up out of my subconscious more often. Just all around unhealthy for my PMA.
While I'm thinking about it, I have a stack of papers from that period of time that I'm going to burn right now...
