When friend groups are held back by someone who won't let old conflicts go

Our friend group from high school still gets together a few times a year, but one person always brings up old drama and grievances from twenty years ago while the rest of us want to just enjoy each other now — and it's starting to feel like we can't move forward because she won't let us leave the past behind.

What we've seen

A group is discovering that shared history can become a prison when one person's need to relitigate the past conflicts with everyone else's desire to grow beyond it.
