I think you know this...as I do, and yet it is so difficult to do with them. They are both my teachers and tormenters. You are amazing. An amazing, strong, loving soul...in spite of all that's happened to you (from what I've read). Family who does not accept you have a problem with their OWN acceptance. Nothing to do with you. You may only show them what they cannot face in themselves. So you also are their teacher. <br /><br />I wish you much healing and love. You are an inspiration many...I'm certain of that. :) A.

Congratulate yourself on the awarenesses that you received about this situation. Awareness is always the first step toward changing something. You deserved to be treated better than your family treated you when you were a child and now that you are an adult.Patricia Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114250171020836470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951898199512520828.post-81159219074180996092012-08-25T07:06:36.638-07:002012-08-25T07:06:36.638-07:00Thank you for sharing this very courageous post.
