Families suck sometimes.
Like your....mine- many others.
But we have this place to 'talk' and share and support and learn. My past cannot hurt me any more than it did- if I do not let it. Brave words- hard sometimes. But the past is dust and memories. All we have is now- this moment. Then we have hope that when the next moment becomes this one-so we can get on with the rest of our lives.
My prayers and support to you.
