Childhood bullies are now my FB friends 40+ years later

<p>I have found peace within myself and really don’t feel I need to have any interactions with people who mistreated me to have that peace. I had bullies in grade school as well as intermediate school (different kids). In fact, they had a gang war over me in intermediate school (their words). Since then, I have been able to have a very successful and happy life. I have taught my kids resiliance and how to overcome adversity. </p>

<p>I do not need to revisit those people who tormented me and made my life miserable before high school miserable. I had nothing in common with them then and even less now. Why would I seek friendship or anything else with them? I have no idea if they are even capable of friendship, nor do I care. If our paths were to cross, I do not know how I would react and actually am surprised that our paths have not crossed, since I live in the same school district that I attended all those decades ago. I have all the friends and family I need.</p>

<p>Each person must make their own peace in their own way. I have made mine and have absolutely no regrets. My life has gotten better all the time, with childhood being among my toughest years and memories, bar none.</p>
