Neither allowed me fo call my: soul, my home or - my-family my own. -1-endured-the situation until I was in my = middle thirties because I felt I owetl it to them in return for my college education for which I won scholarships.

I have a solid basis from which to attempt a reconciliation. I still feel indebted to thep: and cannot be satisfied with myself until I have done all in my power to pay that debt. My fear of them has turned to pity and my anger into a desire to help. r It will be difficult to reach them because their nervous systems are insulated by alcohol, disease and self-centeredness.
