Sounds like your T is also!!!
Mandy, you are worthy of "love, respect, and tenderness." I also struggle with viewing my parents through the eyes of a child, which blames myself for their wrongdoings. Logically, I know it wasn't my fault but there is so much shame and pain inside that tells me otherwise.
take care of you ((((Mandy)))
