cypher--

For what it is worth I understand completely. I do not have parents and I do not want to have them. Maybe they did give birth to me but that does not make them parents. Why is it that we are expected to forgive and get on with our life after what they did to us? Why is it that when we feel something it is not right?

For all my life I have been dealing with my so called family. They all only want what they want and it does not seem to matter how they get it. After what my parents put me through, I will never be able to forgive them. They have hurt me and continue to do so.

So many say move away and don't talk to them. Believe me, I have moved away as far away as one could almost get without leaving the country. But still they strike. I have not spoken to them in years, but still they know all about me. I have no rights, does not matter how old I am.

So, cypher, I do understand what you are feeling. I feel so alone and know that never do I want anything to do with them. I would never do anything to them, even though that is not what I can say about them. But I have separated from my family. Family does not have to be those you are born into.

Maybe I am wrong to others but when you have been through what I have been through, you would feel the same. Thank you for sharing and for being honest. Whether right or wrong----I do understand.
