Samhain and time to get rid of the shackles once and for all. It's one thing to have new people come in to the house and behave in a way that means they won't be invited back, it's another to continue on the road of trying to fix the unfixable that is decades old. Just because someone is related by blood doesn't give them the right to use a relative as a dumping ground. It's a new day, every day. On the Day of the Dead, several of us got together here and performed disentangling rituals w/prayers of gratitude & forgiveness. Today I heard the person next to me in line @ the store tearing herself a new one over some small bit of forgetfulness, and then justifying her self loathing with the claim of being a recovering Catholic. Well. Whatever is being recovered from, get recovered.
