We all have to make choices in life.
My mother shut all her family out of her life over the years, though we made several futile attempts to stay connected. May God rest her soul.
My best way of making someone admit to something's wrongness is to have them imagine that thing done to them. Suddenly then it all becomes clear.

People from the most horrendous of childhoods can have good lives, but it comes down to a very seemingly simple word. 'Choice.'
Learning to endure, transform by perspective or action, and be grateful is the fast lane to a good life. That's right. Having great luck and fortune is not the conduit to a loving and enjoyable life; gratitude is.
This is all you have. This is not a dry run. This is your life. If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won't get it back later.
