Day 403 - Family is what you make of it

After a long day and a lot of thinking I have come to this thought regarding my former family who is no longer a part of my life.

"Before I can welcome you into my life, you must welcome my family into yours. My fiancé and my daughter are my whole life and without them there is no me! Those are just the rules, you live with them or walk away. I'm fine either way, the decision is yours in the end. But unless my fiancé feels welcome in your home... it is not a home I wish to enter."

It is a long path and there is a lot of healing ahead...I'm not sure we'll ever be a family but at least I've reached a place of peace with it and am willing to open my doors....even if no one knocked. :(
