I Come From a Broken Family
I come from a family of dysfunction.
My parents divorced when I was 3, and my mother had a steady string of boyfriends and 2 subsequent marriages to men who weren't that great. Dad is an alcoholic. One of my brothers is estranged from all of us, I haven't seen or heard from him in over 5 years.
The sad part is that the older I get, I really want to be closer to my family. But how do I do that when they are ALL so very toxic and will bite me like a snake at every turn?
