Try to take the time to care for your mental and emotional health when you need to, then, instead of stewing for years and years. I made the mistake of rolling with it, turned 35, and I'm lucky to still be here at 40.

Still struggling. Wish I'd spoken with someone years ago.

Yeah seconding that. Try to find a way to deal with your monsters. Forgiveness or accepting that you won't get justice, whatever. But don't drink poison thinking the other guy will hurt. We all need to learn to heal, the process takes s long time. The earlier you start the better.
