I'm 52 years old and I still hate.....btw.....I did not go to her funeral when she died at age 80. My brothers had to repeatedly remind me to go visit her in the hospital. I went once, saw her.....and never went back even though she was there at least 3 weeks prior to her death. This runs very very deep and she is the only person in my entire life that I contemplated about killing. I can't help it.....it's how I felt and feel.
Thank you for the honest share Deb.. I'm sorry to hear about all the chaos. If I were you I would just love your family from a distance.. Toxic relationships bring out the worst in us until we find tools in the programs of how to think perceive talk interact.. Just be close with your new family in the program bc they (as a group) are the ones that will teach you how to love yourself. You are beautiful strong enough and lovable. Just do the next right thing like you are in digging into recovery. There are endless possibilities if you allow them to land in front of you.
