Dream big and while it shouldn’t have had to be your responsibility, find a way in adulthood to give yourself what the child you needed.

It depends on what your definition of healing is. As a therapist myself, I consider healing a lifelong journey. So, coming out of the fog, you will heal, yes. Many times. Over and over again.

That doesn't mean I'm not angry. This doesn't mean I'm not sad. It just means that I am trying to focus on what I can control, and that I don't want to give them more power than they've taken over how I move forward.

in the same way I choose to forgive to minimize the power others' actions have over how I move forward, I choose to love. On a very practical level, I do this so I don't spend my life wishing my family to be different than they are (because in the end, this only me).
