Hi Anita,

That is a very difficult and painful realization you went through. I am very sorry you had to experience that.

Again, I’m so thankful for this forum, as it helps so much to hear others situations and discover new ways of overcoming deeply rooted and buried challenges.  I think perhaps deep down I’ve realized some of these things as well, but denied/refused to accept the truths because they are so hard to accept. So many therapist also say, ‘we cannot blame our parents for everything’ and I’ve taken that probably too literally. Sometimes we can. and should, to move on and forward.

Thank you again for the perspective.
