I think it is healing T. The wound is scaring (I believe like GOOD scar tissue after drastic surgery). For so long the wound just kept getting it reopened.. through the contact, the divorce proceeding.. all of it. But you are healing. AND like I am like you, I believe that we see them for who they are not who we remember...
The pain for me only comes when I think he is who he was.
Sorry your daughter has mono - it really wipes them out.
As always T- take care of you!!
