See? It's not a matter of what I want to do. I also want to let it
go, but my wounds will not follow suit just on account of it. A
damaged self needs mending like all things damaged, not an act of
will saying: "I just let it go" and it goes. If your will can be so
powerful as to have mended you inside, I congratulate you.

Either you're assuming a lot or I wasn't clear. When I said "Took
responsibility for my own life and let it go" I did not describe how
I had done that. I certainly didn't say it was an act of sheer will
that simply required me to say "I just let it go" and it goes. It
took a breakdown, almost 11 years of therapy, tough choices, and
hard decisions to get where I am today. I also think I'm lucky and
blessed. My capacity for forgiveness seems to know no bounds. I
don't understand
why or how, I just know I'm fortunate to have it, because in the end
I am the one who was liberated from an ugly past.

I disagree with this. If you remove the cause, you are cured at
least from the problems that cause gives you, there can be a myriad
causes. But letting it go is not always removing the cause. You can
let go an incident of your daily life, a frustration or some sort of
discomfort, but you cannot let go a wound. A wound needs healing and
not just an act of will. If you cut your arm you cannot let go the
wound, you have to wait until your body repairs itself, which
usually takes some time according to the degree of the damage.

But you choose how you treat the wound. You can keep it clean and
bandaged while you wait or you can continually pick at it until it
becomes infected and worse and slows the healing process.

did you parents mess you up?....share your story here...

No, but grammar school did.

Was it like in the movie "The Wall"?

I haven't seen the film, so I can't say.

I've long been a huge Pink Floyd fan (just listened to them
today), but I don't think "The wall" is a very good movie...

Why didn't you like it? I think I saw it 9 times back in high school.
