    I found I had some backsliding when I went back to my original hometown too.

    I expect it’s the same mechanism where even if you know you’re adult and might even have grown beyond where your parents were, you still feel like a little kid around them sometimes? Even if they don’t DESERVE to have that sort of power over you these days?

    I wouldn’t consider it proof of anything bad beyond our little monkey brains sometimes doing the things monkey brains do, like hold onto bad stuff and bad memories.

      You’re right, and I generally remember that I have many blessings to count… but like you said, primate brains doing primate brain things.
