Your story sounds familiar and I'm glad that you are not going to "be the scapegoat" any longer! You are way to special for that!
It's hard to remember that it was not our fault. That we didn't ask for it. But, it sounds like you have that thought firmly planted in your head - that it's not your fault.
Keep up the good work! Self-care is the ticket!
Hugs,
Songbird
