I have read this and it sounds so similar. I have come to the conclusion hat just because someone gives birth to to you does not mean that they are gong to love you. My childhood was not pleasant with my parents divorcing when I was young. Life is a challenge and some how I have come out of my childhood a strong determined woman that has made sure my children know that they are loved. I'm now on the other side of my cancer and look back and see how much support and love I recieved from family, 2 sisters and my friends that are a extension of my family.
Life can be such a struggle at times but sometimes these hardships make us stronger. Sometimes seeing it in writing helps to move forward. Sending you a hugxx
