I have learned to accept that the WAS might not ever "get it" when it comes to what they put us through.
And even if mine could, I think it'd be so painful to him that he'd probably turn away from it. Or try to forget it. At Retrovaille he broke down and sobbed and I knew in that moment, he got it. But no one can stay that down/sad for long and my h is also a proud man with a good self image, and I don't think the MLC conduct he engaged in, fits his self image at all.
So it's a lot for them to deal with...but sure, what about US??? We went through it!
I hear you.
Can't post more now but will later on.
Carry on and good luck.
