Everybody reveals a different facet of themselves when interacting with various people because we're all unique with our own personalities, brains, characteristics, and experiences. That's why some people can speak positively of one person but others remember painful and bitter moments of that same person.
Just because a lot of people have had positive and fun memories of someone while a few or one person had negative ones does not minimize or dismiss the latter group because their interactions were laced with hurtful or sour wounds by the person even if the majority never went through it with that same person.
But whether it happened intermittently or all the time, they still played a vital role in shaping who you are today. To the few or one person who felt injustice, know that you are seen and heard and your voice matters. And while it may be a slow process of acknowledgment, forgiveness, and feeling safe in your secret place with God and trusted people to help dismantle and untangle layers of chaos and damage, your journey is your own. Nobody can tell you otherwise. If they do, they're making it about themselves ---> Ex. "That was never my experience." And that doesn't count
You can redeem and repurpose the fragmented pieces into something greater and miraculous with the resurrected power and grace through Jesus.
