wow, myself, your post is overwhelming on so many levels, I think I will need some time to think about all of this.
I will respond more later or maybe i will pm you.
I have started to tell certain family members about my childhood and why I don't want to come to the reunion if there is a chance my mother could be there. Well my mother got wind of what i have been saying and she threatend to "show me what real child abuse it" .
I would like to put my anger to use like you have, but I guess I have to think about everything you have said like the risks in doing so . I am sure there is even more that you haven't said.
I will write you later okay..
