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.
