I hope you give yourself some compassion in all this.  |
(sorry to hijack your thread, rainbow) but griffin—Your insight reminds me of how my T has been gently suggesting (for the past few years) that my mom's alcoholism during my childhood greatly contributed to my various difficulties now as an adult. I never wanted to acknowledge it because it made me feel *so* guilty...my mom has been sober since 1992 and we have a close relationship. But I finally went back to "that place" last month. I am planning on having a heart-to-heart with Mom when I go home in a few weeks.
Take care, rainbow. It's hard digging up all this stuff, isn't it.
