But I am actively training myself not to go there. I keep saying to myself - don't look back, don't look back!
It gets easier, doesn't it?? It gets easier to simply turn the switch in our brain and think or do something else.
By-the-by, I agree that there's no excuse. I was hospitalized for depression. I understand how it feels to bleed pain. Yet, I never treated anyone the way Smokey has treated the children and I. Blows my mind.
I suppose someday it will make sense to me. But, for now, I can't imagine turning my back on someone with whom I created a life, imperfect or not.
