Yes. I do relate to that. I have also thought about the frozen aspect. I do believe that people shut down and sometimes it takes decades to be at a point to deal with the past. Then finding a board to start to talk about it, I find it very normal to have some adolescent reactions. I know that i have.
This almost reminds me of "It". (The Stephen King novel) where a group of kids forgot about each other and then years later regrouped to fight the source of horrors. It is uncanny almost, to see a number of people reaching out to resolve stuff from so long ago. But we had that common experience of being in one of the most destructive of destructive cults to arise.
