I’m going through prolonged issues that have churned up painful memories of my childhood and adulthood. It’s difficult to know how to go on, as my daughter is getting older and I want to be strong and supportive for her.
I sought counselling and was told to never see or speak to my family again. It sounds easy, but I’m drawn to them like a drug habit. I know they are bad for my health, but I continue to attend family gatherings and invite siblings or parents to mine.
