Survivor Guilt

My husband tells me I have survivor guilt because I had the courage to escape my horrific childhood and build a life. As a child it was my JOB to absorb all the blame for the family and also fix everything. I was the scapegoat. I rose to the occasion at a very steep price. It has taken me years of writing to try to comprehend it. But I don't regret a moment of devoting my time to this exploration. It's the only game in town.
