You know I love you sweetie. I care very much that you are hurting.

I would suggest making a list of all the things that have hurt you over the years. The stuff that is still hanging around and making you miserable. Look at each area of your life and decide what kind of action you can take to take better care of yourself. If you need to express your disappointment to your parents, etc., at least write it down on paper. You can always decide later whether you want to send it or not. Stop allowing people to have so much power over you. I know it isn't easy because I have to fight against this tendency very much myself. I guess the point I am *trying* to make is that I hope you will take steps to make your situation better. The definition of insanity is doing the same things the same way over and over again and expecting a different result. I can't tell you what changes to make. And there my be no changes to make -- maybe just acceptance and letting go. All I know is that you are a very neat lady and that you deserve to be happy.

BTW you are totally entitled to your feelings. Anger can be cathartic if you channel it the right way. Sometimes if there is one thing that is bothering me I allow that one area of unrest in my mind to influence all of the other things that are actually good in my life. IT is like the bad apple concept.. Hey, it is time to throw out the dang bad apples.

Love,

Michele
