Even if it’s just to face those who dug our hearts out with a paper clip, they should face what they did, and listen to it from the mouth of the ones they hurt.
Oh if we could only do that my little wander. The sad thing is that many of us will never get the chance to have the satisfaction of some sort of apology for what has been done to us by others. I don't think one who has undergone severe trauma, as in your case and many other's here; can really ever have complete "closure" to the past. It's a part of what we are and hopefully, it can be a reminder of what we left behind and what we have to look forward too.
Knowing what the organization did to us just keeps me strong in knowing that we made the correct decision to leave and start our lives over...which isn't easy when you're 50+.
I agree with Evil...writing a letter can be almost (but not quite) as good as talking to someone face to face. I did that with my mother and it gave me some relief from my feelings of hatred towards her. Keeping journals and writing to those who have hurt us are valuable aids to us psychologically speaking...hastening the healing process (which I still believe is never complete).
You're such a great guy wander...like everyone here says...keep your chin up and know that you will always have the support of this forum.
Big hug...mumsy
