Still trying to heal my childhood wounds and it sucks. I miss looking at my parents with innocent eyes. It really makes me feel sad about how things are. Reality of Life.

I am tired of the family cycle of guilt and shame and every time I'm around them it hurts.

Am I wrong for not wanting to be around them and fake a smile..?

They make me feel bad when I don't go around. Not directly by saying things but I am a highly sensitive person.
