Facing the Ghosts of the Past

I thought the ghosts were gone. I thought  I would not have to go back through that door again. That is what I thought until I moved back to South Carolina.

My past was revisited when issues with my brother and sister reared their nasty little heads! But I truly can not regret having to revisit the past. Evidently it was needed or else it would not have come back up!

But this time when I looked through the door of the past the pain was still there to deal with only it was not as bad as it was when I dealt with it the first time in therapy.

They say, "More Will Be Revealed" and it was. 

After all these years I found them playing the same games and acting in the same toxic ways as they always have. I changed through the years with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous  and therapy. They stayed the same. 



I, In no way am happy their lives are like they are. On the outside they look like everything is fine but on the inside is emptiness.  Its sad to me.  I hope they can find peace in their lives and one day take the masks off.
