I say bloody good on you. Vent like hell, if you don t it will eat you up. What you should see from this is YOU broke the cycle. You stepped away from self absorbed self pitying hate that consumes so many families. Let them wallow. You did the right thing. If they want to bury their heads tough. For your kids. They can rely on your history and genetics...sure alittle more info from your mum might confirm what they already thought but it s not essential.
Personally I m a venter.i make no apologies for it. I swear and rant but i m not half as stressed as those about me who bottle things up.
So in the words of Disney.Let It Go. Rant swear curse...then move forward.which it sounds as if you already are. You re going to be good. Stay strong.hang tough. Much luv.mags xx
