You don't turn your back on family, even when they do. To know that some people still have my back even after all of this means everything to me. That's what's important to me now. The ones that love me and care about me, regardless of how strained and how much I've pushed them away, some it was an easy choice because I will not have my life affecting anyone else's, and I'll fight and go down swinging if it was ever to have been my presence in people's lives that affected them. I feel better for having these people in my life, and at this point I only need positive people that care about me in my life, period. I need happy moments in my life not drama. I've made peace with all the drama in my life. I don't need or want anymore. There is no reason to dwell on darkness and anger. I've made my peace with that. I'm a good person even if I have to prove it to others again, some know, others doubt, including myself. That's the hardest part
