[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 676985, member: 1550"] Copa...I hope you do not take this wrong. I feel all of us, yourself certainly, made very difficult choices for our own good. We are stronger because of it. But I don't compare our FOO to my Nazis, whom I loathe with every fiber of the being. The Nazis trapped, held and victimized people against their will. They couldn't walk away. They had no choice. They couldn't move to another part of Germany...in fact, they could not move anywhere. In my humble opinion, that is way different than our FOO whom harmed us, but whom we can walk away from if we choose. They didn't kill us or put our lives in danger. They broke our hearts, but we are strong and survived. Our siblings suffered the same substandard parenting we did so they have problems of their own. I know for a fact my siblings may not blame my mother for it, but they suffered because of our upbringing. Both of them. A lot. It is obvious. They don't need any more than they already suffered. So, although I validate how you feel (it IS valid) and respect you in every possible way, myself...I think differently. I know life is hard and that they will have their own challenges, some terrible, and that I don't have to do a thing. And there will still be justice for all of us. Our FOOs are not legal criminals. They are just mean to us and life, on it's own, will serve all of us with humility. Even if some can't admit it. Hugs and hope you don't take this wrong. [/QUOTE]
