The Healing Begins....
I took a step to heal my anger, the only way I know how, forgiveness. I took down my stubborn wall and reached out.
People are going to be what they want to be, you can’t change that, I wouldn’t want to nor would I want to be changed.
You can’t pick your family and that’s good I guess…Makes us more colorful.
Acceptance….Growth…..Peace…..Understanding.
I’m heading there; I hope others are as well.
Family is as Family does. But in the end they’re always family.

Jeez...I know all about this. To be honest...it's gets REALLY tiring. The same temper tantrums and misplaced anger issues from judgmental family members. Egg shells everywhere....
It's hard to breathe sometimes..
That's very brave of you, KM. I wish you well.
Family can be a boon or a curse, but they are your family none the less.
I am very glad to hear that you are taking steps to improve your life. That is always a wonderful thing to hear! Keep up the good work Kate. Be proud of yourself for that.

and we mustn't forget - we aren't neccesarily born to our familes - i like to think that we continue to find them throughout our lives...
Ahhh if only we could pick and choose...but then I wonder how truly boring our lives would be.
Good for you Kate.
They offered you money, didn't they?
Kimmyk: Sure, if we could pick and choose, Bill Gates would have 200 million relatives.
But as you know, Katie, sometimes family can (and will) grate on us. I suppose it's the extent to which we are willing to put up with it that makes or breaks.
I gave up being angry, it took to much effort. Being happy is much easier and since I am lazy by nature it fits into my life so much better. Now if I could get my wife on the same page with me.
honkeie2: Yes I'm starting to realize this...how much energy it drains out of you...... I'm much too lazy to give away any extra energy!!
@ Anthony. If I put glasses on and get a complete face lift, then I look totally like Bill Gates.
I had times when I just wanted a new family. I think every kid goes through that. But I know that if I have any problems, I can always go to them whenever I need them because they are always with me more than anybody else in this world. And they'll know me more than I know myself.
don't I know it, babe.
huge families tend to give you a few nuts.
and drunks.
and liars.
and I have more than my fair share!!
