You sound totally functional despite your past. And I really think that is the key to mental illness- the degree to which you are able to function in life. I have a past similar to yours but for some reason wasn't able to develope appropriate coping skills and wasn't able to keep a job, marriage(s), etc. It sounds like you were able to use a strong sense of denial to 'forget' your past, and I think it's really healthy of you to work it through now (which makes you strong, not pathetic) Best of luck on your journey- judy
