5 Things I'm Thinking Today

[Recovery4Me]

Lashing out = unprovoked.

Although, I find your entire post worthy... I wish to add from my point of view that I won bantering with an attorney in court of law, the concept of provoked versus unprovoked during a domestic violence case. The attorney was questioning me," Had I provoked the accused?"

I answered,"At what point does provoking warrant violence?"

Although the judge was none too pleased, (as I was to answer a yes or no)...and it was struck from the record...I won the positioning. So my point, lashing out is difficult to define. Sometimes, prior poking the bear will result in the bear waking up from hibernation and grumbling.
Just my 2 cents not to misread as a standard or authorized by anybody important. Just me the bear...:p

Totally. :sneaky: I'm by no means saying my super simplified B&W outline is useful for more situations, just answered Alice with musing aloud there are differences, standing up isn't lashing out, abusers don't get a say in it and don't set the rules & it's up to people to set that line of how much is too much in abuse relationships / that victim blaming 'rules' equating self protection with inappropriate affect by default don't apply.

Meant to encourage to explore boundaries with that sharing.

. Just me the bear...:p

On a fun (or not so fun) note though: I wouldn't screw with the bear. :D
Metaphorically and not so.
(I'd really hope I'm faaaaar f*cking away upon hearing of a grumpy bear.) ;):hug:

Can't sleep keep dreaming about my kids dad and fighting with him in my dreams , so it 4:30 and I decide to stay up.

I alway feel like I am f*cking up with people. I hate when someone offers to do something and doesn't step up to the plate. Then when you do it yourself they ask, why didn't you wait for me? Or you are there when they need a favor but back quickly away if they even think you mjght be asking for help, which you weren't until you realized how they were backing off and can't help but think it was okay to call me when you needed.... Fill in the blank.

I don't like who I am and would back away from me too if I could. I don't like interacting with people in real life either.

I don't like depending on people or being depended upon

I'm like the weather in Denver .... Don't like it? Give it five minutes, it will change.

1. Thinking this feeling I am in right now is 'happiness'
2. I've read about the 'happiness' thing, wondered if was true
3.Now that I know what this feels like, I understand the work it took to get here
4. Nothing lasts forever
5. Will savor and cherish this like a precious stone gifted to me by the Universe.
