Dear Emma, Really resonated to what you had to say. Am in the process of separating myself from my destructive brothers. If I continue to allow them to abuse me, especially in front of the children and grandchildren, I am modeling codependent behavior. Plus, when healthy people observe such behavior, they want nothing to do with me. Also, I live in an a public housing apartment complex for seniors and disabled people. It is amazing how bitter most of them are, hating themselves for living inauthentic lives, leaving behind a broken trail of dreams and relationships. It is never too late . . . As my dear mother used to say, may God rest her soul, "when there's life, there's hope . . . " Yours in Sisterhood, Monica
