I cleaned up the blog.  Nothing like posting my whole life for the world to see, and yet, gosh, I really needed to tell my story.  I now have No Contact with the family of origin, very little contact with the brother-in-law, and feel better every day.  I have new found friends in support who can validate my experiences through their own.    Some people drink, some people take anti depressants, and some people find a way to recover.  And probably those of us who choose to go through the recovery process are the ones people find the most disturbing.   We talk and vent and try to find others who will help us through the journey.  A lot of dirty laundry people might not want to know.  It's uncomfortable.   So, I cleaned up the blog.  And it's time to start focusing on those things that make me happy.
