1) Did you move afterwards?

2) How many of your current friends know about this part of your past?

Like most of the people who will comment I won't be able to understand your emotions or what you went through, but please know that I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you grow up to be a truly happy person.

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to answer these; is it therapeutic to discuss these memories in an anonymous internet forum?

Well-said. I hope you do learn to trust again, and good luck to you in the coming years!
