I struggle with this too. Well, it is getting easier and less of a struggle but still.
I find it hard to explain to people how things affected me so badly and often their response is simply 'it's in the past, you need to move on' which is true but feels insensitive and, well, I ask how? All those memories do not just disappear overnight.
I'm sorry I can't help other than to reassure you you are most definitely not alone. If you find talking it over with someone will help, that is something to try.
Take care. :)
