We can all look at it however we like, but I don't view this as a cop-out, I view it as truth and reality. I feel quite detached from the person who hurt his family and friends and co-workers, not "me" and certainly not who I am now. I can't change the past, all I can do is move forward from wherever I am at the moment, and fixating on things in the past doesn't help me, or my family, friends and co-workers.
