I am still haunted by a lot of things from my childhood. I'm hoping that posting here now and then and getting other people's feedback and support will allow me to cope and move on a little better.

My mom is still alive but I haven't seen her but once in the last three years. She officially disowned me after my dad died. She accused me of stealing all of the family photos and other keepsakes (which she later found but never told me) and I can no longer forgive her. I'm an adult now....have been one for a long time...and it's time I no longer allow myself to be abused. I can no longer allow this hurt to accumulate. It's no longer worth it.
