Star, SO much of what you said brings it home for me, too! I am SO grateful that we can share the painful times in our life on Lifesupporters and TALK about it! So, so many years I didn't talk about it, I felt so alone!
I LOVED my Mom and Dad so much, I felt it was dishonourable to talk about my painful childhood, but I realized I had to for it to be healed. They weren't bad people out to ruin my life, I KNOW that, they loved me very much! I learned how to love from them, but they just didn't love each other! I am above it now because I know how to LOVE from them and that is what I concentrate on...but every so often, like the article I found, it comes up again, and I feel I need to talk about it a little more. Just means I need a little more healing and that is okay!
I am grateful, also, for everything because it also made me the person I am today. I think of myself as very loving, kind, caring, and understanding. At least I try with the understanding part.
