Laurie, welcome to SR.

I hear so much pain in your posting, and my heart goes out to you and prayers that you can find peace and make peace with your family.

Yes, you are way out of line and have said cruel things....and I say that with love in my heart, because behind cruel words is usually great pain and you will need to look within to find out what it is in you that makes you behave so badly...again, said with love in my heart because I have felt pain too and know how anger is rarely far behind.

There is a wonderful book called Codependent No More that many of us have read and found truly informative and inspiring. It helped us look within too and find out why we felt a need to "control" all those around us.

Stick around, try to leave the anger at the door because people here truly do understand and perhaps can share how they handled their resentments and anger too.

Hugs
