[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 409828"] Because we hope things will be different? Because it's the only choice available at the time? I don't have an answer, though I do have to agree with HD. I'd suggest that wanting to re-open your sis's case is part guilt except for the fact that I agree the whole thing looks hinky and poorly investigated and it's far from unheard of for an overworked dept to grab the easiest answer and close it out. I know I'm bad about forgiving, both others and myself. Blocking and denial is easier and allows me to function (and is safer than my anger). Sometimes it comes back and blindsides me, and sometimes it brings an epiphany with it (not often, but sometimes). Sometimes I'm just able to say "Ok, I really f'ed this up... I can't fix that, so what are my options from here and did I learn anything from it?" Sometimes I just try to believe that my mistakes were training I'll need later down the line. [/QUOTE]
