Brat, Oh My!
First thank you for sharing. I can't seem to find the words to express for what you have shared. My mouth is still drawn open with many emotions. With all you have been through you maintain the courage to fight and this inspires me beyond belief. You sound like a very strong gal not like a second class citizen. My T shared with me last week that we teach others how to treat us with what we will tolerate and what we will not. Your daughter needs a dose of your courage to not tolerate being manipulative to you. You don't deserve it. Do you believe you are stupid? I don't think so!
To go through what you have been through and to continue full force is nothing less than courage and ultimate bravery. Why do we stand in front of others to ask to see our own reflection and how amazingly powerful yours is! You know your undeniable strength so why do you allow your ex or family members define who you truly are? They are the cowards and weak ones not you!!!!
I find you amazingly inspiring and your compelling strength will remind me in these days to come I have what you have.
Each day for me differs. I was not aware of my bad feelings until he kept pushing and tried to find the triggers to set me off! He (my son's therapist) was successful.
I died twice in the ER 11 years ago and they brought me back from a serious attempt. Was Mad as Hell when I woke up. But that was then, this is now. I try to fool myself sometimes to think it has all gone away but it has not.
I want to be the victor, not the victim. So that's why I am hear inviting responses and truths of others so I can grow for me and to help others I hope.
I know daily triggers can try to bring back old thoughts, this too I am challenging!
I do know however I don't play games so I need to be painfully honest with myself and ask for others to do the same. We can all help each other. I would like to feel hopeful again, I just can't look straight in this guys eye and say that I am. But I will try and use your e ample to kick my butt into place! :0)
