Pam,

I think this post shows how strong you are becoming.

Also, I understand where you are coming from in regards to healing.

I don't know how far you got in my old threads...

But I sincerely believe that I needed that year with my parents in order to heal that relationship.

Now my mom and I are best friends...

And I know that the anger, bitterness I used to feel because of my relationship with my parents has been healed. And that healing is reflected in my current relationship with Husband.

It sounds like you are on a similar path.

Hugs to you for recognizing it and taking it!
