I really thank everyone for all that you have shared. It's given me a lot more to think about and I realize I'm not ready -- probably only ready to be angry. I hated myself for so long, now I want to hate them instead and I guess I'm looking for ways to express that. After reading what you have all shared, I've decided I don't yet know what I would be trying to do by confronting them, so it's not time.

Thank you so much for sharing. There's a lot of dignity and caring here and it really helps me.

Be well,

MTD
