I wasn't going to respond to this because there's not much that can really be said, obviously nothing can make that suffering go away, but the reason I do respond is because of this.
When we hold grudges, even ones that are completely justified, it disturbs our peace, even if we don't think about it the majority of the time, it IS part of our identity, the way we respond and react to it are from the perspective of the age we were when it happened, not from our current perspective, and we carry that baggage with us and it unfortunately effects us, even if we are aware of how it influences our behavior and emotions to this day, we cannot heal while holding on, and, healing is the ultimate justice for you.
Regardless of if you heal or not, is seems clear to me that we all will be held accountable for what we have done in this life, otherwise why do humans have issues with self discipline but animals live by nature? It's not because of iq because there are a lot of people with lower iq than some animals (obviously there is more to intelligence than iq), but to me this paints the picture of a spiritual (of sorts) battle.
In any case, regardless of if you are religious or not, it is clear that when we give those things up, when we let it go, we heal and are raised up.
You should be proud of your hard work, you should love yourself but obviously not to any narcissistic degree, love though, like a parent should love a child.
When we are kids, ideally our parents discipline and teach us, but when we are out on our own, we have to be our own parent, love yourself like you love a child, and though this love you can let go of that pain, because there is no question of if you are strong or not, you've proven that clearly.
And, it's not just important to heal for yourself, but so that you are made more able to influence those around you for good.
Many of us have reasons why we can be bitter, many of us have been hurt, but if we want to build a better world where such things don't happen to others, we need to let go of our pain (without obviously losing perspective of the evil that we and others have suffered) and focus on building a world that is wholesome, and you absolutely cannot have a wholesome world without having justice which will be done.
Pain begets bitterness begets hate begets pain and the cycle goes on.
Righteousness is in proper measure grace and justice and justice will always be done.

@johnsampson6387 maybe that's what this can boil down to, with guys at least. I love being in the water, surfed through my teen years, went cliff jumping, wound up on a swim team ect.
Went to Hawaii twice and quit smoking both times cause I couldn't stay out of the water and would go out swimming for about 3hrs at a time, come back in, try to smoke, felt like crap, went back out and felt like I was gonna drown for about 20minutes before starting to feel better. So I have a bit of a affinity with water, but combine that with cold showers/baths and the dopamine spike you get from it and I just really like being in water. So that definitely plays a role in it for me, if I hadn't done or didn't enjoy those things as much as I do I probably wouldn't like showers as much as I do, even a short shower is nice, though baths take to long so I probably take a bath once every three years or so.
