Thanks everyone....
The hankster has spoken....
I hate how this situation just stirs up so much of my childhood angst....I was constantly hurt, diminished, humiliated....while their egos fed on my pain....the jealousy I felt about all the love my parents had for HER while they were hating ME....
But all of these feelings can't be good for my throat....LOL...so I'm going to try to put it out of my mind and rest. I feel a migraine coming on.
