Strength to you too! That "The past is the past" argument is so manipulative. I contemplated a demonstration of punching somebody in the face and then saying, "Why are you still mad about that, the past is in the past?" But of course they'd press charges and that would be bad for you. Everything is the past. You're absolutely right! Dr. Maya Angelou said, "When people show you who they are, believe them." Thanks for the kind words!
