Daf you always make me think.
I neglected the part about accepting myself. When I first came to recovery and realized what my part had been in the whole dynamic I literally crumbled. The only thing that caused me to be able to hold my head up again was acceptance...of myself. I had done the best I knew how to do.
This thread has reminded me to keep acceptance up front in my consciousness each and every day.
Hugs,
