You feel good about it because it reasures you that it wasn't all you. I experience that sometimes too. When D22 completely moved out of her dad's because she couldn't take it anymore, and then was telling some of the issues, I couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied. She confirmed some of the things I thought were his problems in our marriage, that are still problems he has. She saw them and acknowledged them and that made me feel better cuz it confirmed that it wasn't all me.
