As wonderful as it is to go from a bad life to a good life as a child (any 👉 in one’s life I suppose) -it’s equally horrendous to go from a good life to a bad one. I 🤔 about the many different experiences, many so negative (too many) -I don’t know how in the world -it just seems so surreal! And when I think back on my time with my parents (no memory whatsoever of them together -i saw one picture of them together with my father’s arm around my mother) -20 years ago it felt like a whole nother lifetime. I’m only 57 and it’s been 37 years since I’ve seen my mother. Heard her voice. Felt her touch.*

If as an adult, you think it would be difficult to handle 2 alcoholic/addicts -you should try it as an infant 🥴

*My father has been gone 25 years -his two siblings are still alive n’ kickin’. From my grandmother’s and grandfather’s side of the family, most of their siblings seem to lead happily married lives. But neither my grandmother or my grandfather -divorced. Then from my grandmother and grandfather’s children -my father and mother divorced. But my father’s siblings -still married to this day. 😢 What is it? My mother was adopted so we really don’t know much about that side of the family. What we did learn of her mother -was a similar fate to my mother and father. Breaking the Chain… is… 😔
