[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 643499, member: 17461"] I want to add that though it can hurt us, it can be important to review where we are, what we have done, how we see our families of origin, today. We have worked hard to see ourselves differently than they told us we had to. There is toxicity at the hearts of some of our families. At the same time, every loving family fantasy we ever had revolves around these people we love. These are our people. They are part of our lives, part of who we are. It is a really hard thing, to separate the toxicity from the loving them. These things are so closely intertwined. The game has been ongoing for sixty years and becomes increasingly more complex. We have to look and try to understand whether we need to do something different, whether we need to step up or step back or forgive. Or whether we just need, for right now, to let go. I can understand wanting to know. I don't have a curiosity about it, yet. Cedar [/QUOTE]
