The actions/choices that my parents made have hardened/sheltered my heart and feelings!
And for most of my life I have hiding from this in AL.
I meant, to have compassion for yourself, as the child that you were when you began drinking. I think when we are trying to resolve problems as adults we often tend to blame ourselves a lot and expect too much from ourselves. If there was a tough childhood then I believe it is important to honour the child that was ignored, hurt or whatever else happened. It can be painful but necessary I feel, otherwise a part of you is left on the outside, the child needs to be integrated and then you can be less hard on yourself.
Sending healing, keep going!
