They say there are stages of grief for almost everything! Wandering if others feel stuck in the cycle! Anger, bitter, sad, confused, lonely, I could go on... Wishing I could talk about the abuse I sustained with my parents. Every time I start to talk about it with my Therapist I clam up! I keep hearing my mothers voice telling me family problems stay in the family! No need to discuss your trash!! I can not hate my mother. I loved her because she was my mom. I have strong dislike for her because of the S.M. And Phy. abuse sustained by her and my step dad. With time I hope to find peace in my heart.
