I am so grateful for my fathers narcissism and abuse.

I am so grateful for my mothers drinking and neglect.

I am so happy in my life today. I know myself VERY well and I treat me VERY good. I feel love all around me.

I have the ability to pass on knowledge about the issues of growing up with parents like that and help other people get through it.

That is huge – imagine that – being able to move people, to help them fulfill their dreams and desires.

I am able to write great stories, to entertain and enlighten with my words. To describe the inner life of people.

None of that would have been possible if not for my parents.

Thank you, mum and dad!

What are you grateful for?
