ya know, at some point we have to mark a line in the sand for OURSELVES and separate past from present. we get to a certain age and continuing to use what the parents did to us as children really doesn't hold much weight anymore. you are an ADULT now, you have your own child who is now, at this minute, suffering at the hands of his parents. the cycle continues.

OR it stops. you don't have to STAY until you and the therapist figure it all out. it will always be a process. but it should never be an excuse. you have no physical impediments that prevent you from being on your own, getting a job, etc etc. you have no financial impediments. you would however have to take ownership of your own life.
