We spent 12 years sharing the same room and watched each other grow up.
I used to be proud of the fact that we survived our hellish childhood. These past two years have shown me that we haven't survived all that well.
I used to feel proud of the fact that I not only survived but succeeded; feeling amazed at that fact while watching my other siblings struggle in their adulthood.
Today I don't feel proud or successful. Today I feel...sad.

Jady is doing fantastically! I'm so incredibly proud of her. It's a scary thing to stand up for yourself and step forward into an unknown future.
Kat, normalcy is over rated.
I have no idea what you've gone through in your life, but I do understand. I fight with anger, sadness, anxiety, all the time because of mine.
Your life is good! You have a little one who loves you! You have friends who love and care about you!
Today is good. Enjoy today and the love that you have. (I remind myself of this all the time. It does help) BIG HUGE HUGS, Steph
Steph: yes. What you say is very true. It's moments of blueness that makes one forget (a little) all that is good :)
I'm sorry your childhood was crappy. It seems so many of us Bloggers come from such a beginning. Probably why we value friendship and human goodness contact daily :)
