I think all of us feel like we're a bit on show, all the time.
When someone was hitting me, or like sexually molesting me, it just seemed normal to continue to do that to myself.
The more love I craved, the more distant and abusive he grew. The role I longed to play was never written into Ryan's script: daughter.
My children forgave me at a time when I could barely forgive myself.
Things get so sloppy when you're under the influence.
I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.
