I stopped the cycle. I was in and out of therapy for 10 years (as issues arose) and for the last ten years I have been doing my own work. I have come a longgggggggggggggggg way.

My one sister has been divorced 3 times and she is depressed (undiagnosed). My other sister has been divorced twice. They both married alcoholics. Neither have received any therapy. Now they are addicted to religion........ I am not close to my family but I do have contact.
