I unfortunately made my aunt sad, and have to cheer her up later.
I made a very factual statement about something that happened in the past. But I didn't need to bring it up right now. She has no control over it. What happened already happened.
She was sharing and thanking me, and then I said "at least I exist to help her. When I was in similar situation, not her, not you..no one actually stepped in to my rescue"
I was thinking aloud, because this is something I have to deal with repeatedly.
I often do feel this sense of social abandonement and isolation , and it is not because I haven't forgiven people, it is because some wounds just take too long to mend. You can't really control it. You can both forgive people and still be hurt.
She couldn't say anything and I get that.
