"...though it really made me angry, to be honest. I think I was bitter about it all week and for a long time afterward, too. Even now, when I remember this, it still makes me angry because I didn’t let anyone down; she chose to believe other people, and on top of that, it wasn’t right to make such a big deal out of it when it was just an innocent game..."

I bet it feels as if you let yourself down for not standing up to the false accusation. And that could have eaten a hole in your soul for a long time. Kudos anyway for having made some peace with the past and not let it consume you entirely. They know in their heart the real truth. In the longer term things have a way of evening out @erigm 🤗
