I Realize That I

[Tanishq]

I realize that I am doing well, now no need to mess up everything.

I realize that "no contact" must still be fought for to preserve boundaries. As I am being pressured, no matter how kindly, I must remember the peace that I have is my choice. My mind, heart and soul needs to be safe and free from toxic, untrustworthy bonds. It is sad, but necessary.

I realize that I shield myself and live in a cocoon. Life is pretty cool here in my cocoon.
It makes me happy, but it's also very boring. When I spend a lot of time in my cocoon, I have very few symptoms of PTSD, so I am drawn to believe that I am "cured".

Only to find out that when I get outside my cocoon, all the symptoms come back with a vengeance.
It's time to learn how to live in the real world and deal with my symptoms there, but it's so safe to stay in my warm cocoon.

@Recovery4Me I love the Emotionally Regulated Honey Badger line. :roflmao:

@Radise Thanks...it makes me laugh too! :hug:'s if you accept

 

[Tanishq]

@Radise I do believe like that I will be overcoming this all one day. I don't have so many symptoms, but whatever symptoms I have sure shake my life very much. Let's be careful and reach the healing line. :)

@Recovery4Me No contact is tough. Some people even don't understand that, I understand what you are going through. Gentle hugs for you. :hug: :hug: :hug:

 

[Recovery4Me]

@Tanishq Thank you my friend. :hug::tup:

I realize that I'm not as strong as I thought I am....or rather as strong as I formed myself to be.

I realize that I hate it to be weak.

...and I realize that love is a complicate issue, especially when you've fallen for a person with whom you already broke up twice.

I realized that I am no longer bound to the toxic rules of my nuclear family and as well my husbands family. Let go of two very toxic relatives and I do not have to say or do anything anymore that I do not want to. It sure took such a long time to come to this realization that I no longer have to go by the dysfunctional rules of both families. I feel set free to move on with my life and begin to devlope my own rules which are so much happier and healthy for all of us.

I feel set free at last to begin to live my own life with out both of them. I can trace everything dysfunctional in my own life straight back to my own parents so I am in the process of breaking Betrayal BOnds with them.

@gizmo :tup::hug: major standing with fist.:clown: So proud of you, had to tell you!:)

 

[Let It Be]

I realize that I am going to take the high road about having contact with my former job, etc. today with an e-mail I received.

I realize that I don't want to because of the feelings I have for my former boss but I will.

I realize that it will be near impossible to get my son to change his attitude about going to a tech college.

 

[Tanishq]

I realize that I need to give time to things I think of. I need not to rush or get discouraged so quickly.
