You are the Miracle of Life Personified You received the great gift. Anything other than that, leave with your parents with humility and love. You can set a healthy boundary and turn away to your future, leaving any pain or dissatisfaction with them. We may have been victims as children, but we don’t have to continue to victimize ourselves as adults. If we had the strength to withstand the abuse then, we certainly have the strength to leave it in the past now. We may have felt we needed to take it in order to belong in our family system, but we actually don’t have to do anything to belong. We just do, and always have. We did it!
