I hope chapter two says something about seeing the light, and getting out, and breaking free. About forging a new life with a good quality to it, choosing and surrounding yourself with people who are healthy and such.
And releasing the guilt for doing the right thing, too.
Quite a story, and sorry about the "childhood" you were dealt.

Thanks
basically yeah, I've moved back "home" to where what I consider my "real" family live, ended a relationship that I started while I was living up there, another stellar example of my amazing powers of observation and outstanding "life choice" Skills

Life is getting better
I am surrounded by healthy people and I am making healthy choices, I have had "recovery", "sobriety", "mental health", and a happy and healthy long term relationship in the past so I know what that looks like, it's like finding the trail in the dark after I got lost rather then reinventing the wheel to mix metaphors and sound like a complete a$$
about the childhood...well it was something but it really wasn't a "childhood", I had a lot of fun, it was like being Huck Finn with a gun in Jim Carrol's "The Basketball Diaries" that segued into "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" but I at least got a chance to kind of "redo" High school when I got sober...silly slumber parties, making out, hard to explain but there was a pretty large group of us that got sober at the same time, and for a few years it was like going to high school in 50's or something, it was pretty healing.
ok, must.have.coffee.
