I think you summed things up nicely in the original post saying:

"the context of this thread title, is self-acceptance and giving myself permission to be an entire self with no rejected bits and pieces".

Similarly, the past is just that, something we cant change. That said we do have control over how we relate and respond to issues arising from the past. "Letting go" and confronting "denial and anger", despite the pain associated with the process are good examples of this and should help achieve your goal of "an entire self with no rejected bits…...".

None of us are perfect in this regard and we each have to follow our own paths to acquiring these skills for ourselves, so more power to you Keberoxu and thank you for writing and sharing stuff that really isnt easy to share.

Cheers,
