“I wish you’d forgive yourself. Do you have any idea how much happier you’d be if you stopped blaming yourself for all the bad things that happened to us in our lives? They aren’t worth it. Not even a little bit. Don’t let them keep the power. I want you to be happy. I hold nothing against you. Yes, I was stuck with them for longer before I left, but you’re still stuck there in that house even though you’re standing here before me.”
