(May need trigger for mention of sui)
I found myself unleashing many 'a vent filled with anger and blame towards my parents while I went through resolving all of that pain. People do eff up, every day.
My exh has a half brother in prison, same thing, I've a paternal uncle who was on and off in prison, until the last time, now it's permanent. I've a cousin, in prison for a long time. That group of cousins, distant contact, not because of being enemies, just by virtue of who's an addict and who isn't, safety thing. My dads family, bit off kilter, but it's tough to demonize completely my grandparents, as it's tough to completely demonize my uncle,rest his soul,and his wife. And certainly my ex husbands father was sui, when he was three so, who's to say half brothers mother was completely to blame for his choice to pull a gun?

I get the anger, though.
