We often pine for the ‘good times’. Yet, these memories are misleading. When you focus on them, they portray an image of calmness and kindness, and this builds a completely different understanding of the relationship than reality. One that you deeply attach to. If you widen your scope, however, you will see these memories are the eye of the storm. A moment of calm in a relationship that is otherwise consistently abusive.
