Thats the problem with a person with a past. How do you know for sure she isn't still like that? I would just advise you to take it slow.
That way you have time to see if she has really changed her ways. Some people just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. But I think you should give her a chance.
It's the only way to know if she has changed.
I know you already picked a best answerer, but you should give this girl a second chance. You could regret it later on when you see her holding another guy hands...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
