" You can accept or reject the way you were treated by other people but until you heal the wounds of the past you are going to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol with drugs, with work, with cigarettes with sex, but eventually, it will ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them.
