Yeah, I was very angry with my mom, and dad, and step dad at one time. But I just had to let that stuff go. It was important for me at the time to acknowledge to myself that life was hard for me sometimes when I was growing up, but I worked through that stuff and grew and came to see everyone involved, including myself, in a different way. I think that's the best outcome that can be hoped for, and I understand that it's not always a possibility for everyone. But letting go of that anger really helped me to heal.
