Thank you Peter, I guess it is a good thing. The ones who were wondering about me were curious as to how I fit into the family tree. I think I may have accidently handled the situation with my family well. My intuition hints that in doing things as I did, exploring the past without rejecting them, I seem to have released them from some remorse. Perhaps this will help heal old scars.

I never figured out who gave me the gift of a jewelry box when I was 6, maybe one of my friendly relatives (?)

I was grown up in Switzerland. But when I had been, with 11 years, in London for the first time, then everything was so familiar to me, as if I had been living there forever. I guess, there was - still is! - some kind of memory in me. Not coming from this life.

After getting my med records and confronting my mother with them, I was amazed at how our relationship changed for the better. She told me right then that a great burden had been lifted from her by no longer having to carry the lies she had told me. Ironically, when she was alive, she never shared with my father some of my revelations claiming he was in denial. But since then, he has read the correspondance we had over it and has also come around and that has transformed our relationship as well. Secrets in any family are never good and it's sad that some parents will continue to carry them thinking it is for the best.
