"Personally, I was the one in my family who came forward to end the sick cycle. It worked. Divided the family ~ it was painful ~ but I also could not stand and watch the cycle repeat itself. That idea was much more painful than the division and sorrow that I did feel."

I don't feel like you were attacking me at all! I think your message was very straightforward and coming from someone who has obvious experience with dealing with the unimaginable ( SA).I am thankful for your input.
