I was brought up in a very dysfunctional family and it has followed me all my 66 years and I was becoming so exhausted with the weight of it. I will look for the book you mentioned and give it a read! Maybe one day soon I will have the courage to share some of my story instead of pretending my life was normal and average. Thanks for this awesome post!<br />Tina xoMarguerite (Tina) Smith Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654002122173967940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-35977130479652153102017-05-17T06:23:05.823+12:002017-05-17T06:23:05.823+12:00Dear Catherine such an emotional and loaded post. ...Dear Catherine such an emotional and loaded post.

I have my own childhood issues, these things are part of who we are and give us insight and empathy. I like the sound of red shoes and can't wait to read more...
