HUGS therapy is just plain hard. Kit
Wow Kit, I feel exactly the same way about my family. They are very different now than when I was growing up. I am slowly (very slowly) realizing that even though my parents are different now, what they did/didn't do when I was young still affects me. I still can't put any "blame" on them.
