Hey there, Sandi - I'm not sure if I mentioned it or not (and am too lazy to roll back and see) but her sister can back up much of what she is saying and the memories from her childhood. In fact, when it all started coming back they met up to talk, remember and cry for awhile here at the house....S and I took off to let them have some privacy and peace.
Our "counseling team" has been very good about guiding us through this and making sure that it does not consume us. I am keeping my life at the same time and working making my new life permanent in the face of another person being in it....her, specifically/especially. It is hard at times - and I can sense my self looking back over my shoulder and seeing the old me looking back - but it passes. Is that normal?? I do not want to go back to that old life -- neither of us do.
