Morning everyone!

I hope no one minds if I jump in here and talk about closure. I had some dysfunction in my family growing up. There were some very inappropriate behaviours in my home, nothing sexual or physical abuse or anything, but some criminal things and lots of substance abuse. I'm not sure if there can always be closure. There is no changing what happened and what is a sorry going to do? I think it has to come from inside. It has to be accepted from within. And I think a person has to define themselves in adulthood with their own morals and values if the ones they grew up with were skewed. I've talked with my parents about what went on and it didn't change a thing. It is what it is. But I have the choice today to be the person that I want to be.
