... the trick is to recognize that we live in the here and now; you are not living in the past. And you already know this, but a occasionally confrontational counselor would help tremendously; an objective voice with a face to match who will help you keep things in perspective. Remind you that you are no where near as bad a person as you feel at times, and much better at life than you possibly can imagine. We can help here, but the smile and the nod and the "Yes, I understand; that must be difficult" that goes along a relationship will help you see the freedom that will inevitably come.

Dio vi benedica tutti
Con grande amore e di affetto
