I definitely have scars buried. I've forgiven my mom for the abuse and my dad for the apathy but the memories don't just go away. When I had my nervous breakdown 2 years ago along with having to start new meds I had to see a shrink a few times. In one session it all came out and the shrink was visibly shaken by the things I told her. I was left a quivering mess afterwards.
