I am writing this because tonight as I sit at home rubbing my baby belly I am at peace. I came from a highly dysfunctional family and abuse. I am at peace because I have made a decision with the support of my husband to distance myself from my only blood sibling. We have decided that for us and our wellbeing we are no longer accepting toxic aggressive behavior.

I find peace in this knowing we have such an amazing family that is healthy as well as life long friends. That we can choose different for our baby. That this pattern I was raised in no longer has to continue.

I found my peace.
