Don't you wish you could choose your family?

I have so much pain because of my childhood. I pray that God helps me find a way to heal from my past and to forgive my parents and my brother for abandoning me when I needed them the most. I can't change the past, so I must move on. But in order to move on I must heal my wounds, accept the things I cannot change and to look at my past as a rough draft because Every day is a new chapter and a second chance.

you are grown now
write your own story and let the past go
my Daughter uses a post that is so true
Holding on to hate is like drinking poison and praying it kills the ones who hurt you
If you were not beat ,had a roof over your head ,food to eat ,and a place to sleep where no one snatched you out of bed in the middle of the night to whip you over lies ,
Count yourself blessed and let go ,,
I had to ,
it destroyed 2 marriages holding on to it
there were other reasons ,but most were based in going on and on when I was drunk about how no one knew pain like me ,they had good parents
no one left them in another state like a stray dog ,broke
but I threw away my good life ,not letting go of the past
take a fools advice ,let it go

One of the scariest things for me is that my parents actually contemplated giving me up for adoption because a doctor and his wife wanted to adopt me... And they were thinking if it would be a nicer life for me or not.. I'm glad I didn't get to choose my family... I love them more than they'll probably ever get to know.

Yes, I wish I could have chosen. I would have picked a very different situation. My own situation was bizarre, unreal, and it still haunts me.

That's part of life, some cycles are painful than other cycles... But those hard moments should make you stronger.

You can choose your family. Not the 1st one but they don't have to be the last one. I understand childhood pain. I am not sure what happened in your past but I wish you healing and growth. If you have not already seen a therapist I might encourage you to. And if you ever feel the need to talk or just vent about anything feel free to send me a PM. Good luck to you 💜
