Hi Anita,

I am the only one who has really gone to counseling and self reflected so now after doing the ‘hard work’ I feel like I could have an authentic connection. The problem is that no one else wants that or wants to face their problems. A dysfunctional family pretends problems dont exist. So I guess in this thread I wanted to see how others accepted their dysfunctional families. As you said you chose to move on but struggled with some guilt. I wonder why we do that to ourselves?  Moving on makes me feel guilty, but also trying to make people change is impossible.
