You don't get to choose your parents. I understand how she feels, I actually identify with her on so many levels but she'll make herself sick worrying about other people.

I don't know that it would be any better for her if she just tried to ignore it. There's something therapeutic about being able to share why what you experienced others need to avoid.

I'm not saying she should not talk but she can't turn back the clock on her own life. She almost sounds like she wishes she had not been born.

I have a friend who tried to ignore her past which was painful and she is only now beginning to talk about it. Sometimes things eat you up inside and you are not even aware of it. I say we let these people talk and share their experience with others. It's not only theraputic for them....it's always good to see all sides to an issue.
