[QUOTE="AHF, post: 412918, member: 11180"] A couple of years ago I took all our old VHS home movies and used various computer programs to turn them into a 3-hour DVD. I haven't watched it in a while, because every time I do, I weep. And yet it was therapeutic to put the DVD together, and sometimes it's therapeutic to watch it. It reminds me that they WERE beautiful children, that we DID have magical moments. That a life isn't defined just by where a person "ends up," but by all the experiences that happen over its course. That such lovely, imaginative, loving children turned into the adult monsters I deal with now breaks my heart. But I didn't make those children up. They existed; our lives were intertwined. Nothing can take that away. [/QUOTE]
