Its just so fucking unfortunate that those family members are unqualified to have sort of “therapy” session with you.
Because there are just things only those few people truely understands, and only through them you can really get closure, but then they just either don’t like talking about it or guilt trip or blame you or downplay it.
Or you just feel very awkward and too afraid to initiate a conversation about it.
I think closure is a myth, tbh. Or it’s something you achieve for yourself, after reaching a point in your life where parts of the past are no longer important to you.
Yes, your explanation is the candid version of retelling one’s story if I’m not mistaken.
