Seasons - I have a family that does not love, cannot support and even as I am finally truly finding healing that fact makes me terribly sad. It is no longer a stabbing, enraging pain but it is a deep sorrow. As I read about your children's realization I feel that great sadness pulled over me like a sheet at night. And I am struck by how often I read the words of someone who has achieved someting extraordinary give credit to their family who always believed in them. I know that we can do that for ourselves but I haven't quit longing for that magical feeling of what it would have been like to have family there routing for me.
I am glad that you found some healing in those old movies and I am even more glad that you have children who didn't experience what you did. All my best to you - Gaining Strength
