I never felt the connection to my childhood home that I think you're talking about. It wasn't a safe place. But I do feel a strong connection to my own home now, even though I'm away from it.

Holidays were a dangerous time in childhood. It took me a long time to reinvent holidays for myself. But I did, and now I rarely feel any sadness around holidays.

I do think that what Wikid said can be done. Who I am doesn't exist in a house from my past; who I am is who I nourish myself to be each day.
