Your post was extremely touching and open @mtnmeadowmomma. I could literally feel how much you reflect on attitudes and ways of reacting to day to day happenings - and I am sure that has helped you along the way. It's that awareness and sincerity of self-searching that clarify why we do things and perhaps how we can 'break' the cycles.

Thank you for the book suggestions... It's never (totally) plain sailing but we all have to work at it 🌺
