There is a release, letting go, moving ahead and great healing possible.
Just like the question for an alcoholic that is: do you want to be sober more than you want to drink?
Our question on this side of Family Disease of Alcoholism: do you want to heal more than you want to hold on to the pain?
Awareness of the pain and anger is the beginning of the answer. Then it's acceptance that comes into play in big ways. Not accepting it's okay. It's not okay these things happened!! Accepting that it did happen. That I am human. That I have these feelings.
Then recovery actions. Self-care. Little bits of good strung together through the day. Learning to reparent all ages of myself - the child of me, the adult of me. I can learn to play, imagine good things happening and take joy in it as they do!
