I would be careful- reminiscing is a powerful illusion. That said, I often wonder like you if while writing about my past I am actually changing memories and those i knew!
I know we really try not to - but who knows - they say nobody has the same memories as another, as we all see things differently.
People do change, but if you still have lingering memories of abuse, I would trust that they were real. Why stay in the past? Let it go. Enjoy the now. Why get involved again with someone who didn't give you what you want?
We've all been there, loved, learned, and moved on.....Most first loves die as they must.
