I am sorry that family causes a lot of us pain. The very people that we would hope to find love and support from can hurt us the most.

I am glad that you've kept some of your privacy, time0, because it is very important that you have a safety zone. I simply don't visit my siblings any more than I have to.

Please take gentle care of yourself during the holidays and know that I'm sending you a big sweet cloud of support to help you get through this...........xoxoxo pat
