How beautiful and 'warm' your story is unfolding Mums. To have a wonderful, always present man in your life. That continues to be present for you as you heal.
Your awesome kids, returning, one by one, and you finding out how much you influenced their lives in such powerful and loving ways. That healing is happening all around you, and for you, and the depth of your love and gratitude comes out in each of your words you share here.
You, who were freezing, hungry and alone, has persevered thru unimaginable pain and turmoil, to be the woman you always were, to see yourself in a more full picture, surrounded by love and family.
I really wish I had known you at a different stage of my life. My life may have turned out very different than it is now. Because I would have had someone setting examples, and I would have had that powerful love example to follow.
Very happy for you Mums, for your loving and ever present man, your children being so much like you, and returning to a mom that never left them, not in her heart you didn't.
You are surrounded by miracles, and you know that on the deepest level. So very happy for you. And so proud that you never ever gave up or allowed anyone to destroy, that last part of yourself that has kept you alive and hopeful.
Thank you for allowing me to witness how someone's life can come together in love and compassion. Tender hugs Mums, and let the thawing continue.
What a beautiful heartfelt response! Thank you so much
@ladee!
Yes, I can hardly believe it. I'm still aching for the pain he is still in and that there is so much ground to cover yet. He is very idealistic, very much true to his extremely Sagittarian chart. He and I have both had our honesty used against us by his manipulative father. He is still not really clear on what a number his dad did on us, but has still expressed anger at his dad for the simple and obvious truth of the exploitation of me as a teen.
He is finally just expressing compassion for me and not the abuse his father taught him. Only twenty-two going on twenty-three, so his brain is still not fully developed.
Unfortunately, instead of involving me in his mental health crisises, he's just been diagnosed and medicated and I, honestly, don't think that was the best approach, but I was locked out for so long, by the father. Locked out and stigmatised as "the crazy one". I'm still coming back from that.
But yes, life is beautiful and the warmth in my heart is reflected and growing in my relationships. It has been an uphill climb, a very steep one, a treacherous one and now I'm resting, at my vantage point and enjoying the view. I'm very much a "my-personal-mountain" climber, metaphorically speaking.
I'm coming out of a deep, deep exhaustion, still pretty tired, but functional, in a quiet way, again.
So nice to have friends to share the journey with! Thank you
@ladee! You give me so much, too! I love your warmth, honesty, wisdom and sharing! Everything happens in it's perfect timing, I guess, I don't really know, but that sounds nice and I've heard that. I like to have faith in that. It feels good.:-)
