Gail,
After long time in recovery and when I was ready, I talked openly and with honesty to my family members, at least the ones who were ready to listen. I told my mother and my father about all these issues. My mom decided to go into therapy to work on it and I´ve never been so proud of her. I had long talks with my father about how I was raised and his own emotional state at the time, and we fully reconciled. He is now one of my best friends.
One tip: Let your actions speak, not only words. Make your family proud of you.
Nan, welcome.
Love and light,
