Yeah it took a while. I didn't think I'd get the apology. When it came, i didn't even ask for it. I appreciated it, but aside from that...I don't think I felt anything. After you are owed something for 5 years, and you've gone back and forth as if you maybe didn't deserve the apology, when you finally get it, you finally get a chance to FEEL the apology - you'll feel different. You feel a lot, you feel that you've been gaslit, you feel that you've been validate at the same time as NOT CRAZY. it's ok - cuz my hands weren't clean - but why do I keep putting myself under the bus. "Thanks for the apology" - that's all I should have said - well that's all I did really say.
