What Did You Do For You Today???

Pj morning watching great expectations.

I have finally found the strength and courage to sever ties with my mom and sister, who are very abusive. I've been thinking about this day for quite some time, but with the recent email contact my decision has been set in stone.

I will no longer be banging my head against the wall. I will no longer allow the psychological abuse to continue and as long as I don't contact them, they will not contact me.

Even though I do this for myself, it is not easy. I have longed for their acceptance my whole life.

I am starting a new chapter in my life that includes healing, freedom and peace! I will accept myself, exactly the way I am, with all my flaws and shortcomings.

(((CaringMomma))) So proud of you for taking care of yourself!! I am on your side, forum friend!! If you need to talk just PM me.

I continued to post in my diary. Even though it's hard to break the secrecy I want to move forward.

I spent 90 minutes playing in the snow with the pup this morning. We also played in the middle of last night - it is his first snow and watching him play was too much fun to bring him in. Also took him to the local tennis court, turned him loose and played fetch. This is activity for me because now I have a tired and quiet dog!! No jumping, barking or biting. Ahhh...

I took a shower and I am doing no housework today. I need to take some time to get energy back and feel better.

I ate some chocolate. I always eat a dark piece of chocolate every day and savour every moment of it. Sad that my life has been reduced to chocolate. I think I will go and eat a bit now.

I just did half an hour of tai chi using a brilliant DVD by Dr Jerry Alan Johnson. It seems to reduce the amount of adrenaline in me.

I phoned the doctor to chase up my refferal. I spoke to the secretary, who put me through to the medical secretary, who doesn't know, but will leave a message for the asessment counselor, who will be in touch at some point, so I've kept lots of people in work too :p

I made myself fried rice with fresh ginger and cracked pepper - I think I have this one down now (I don't cook much for myself anymore so this is something for me!) it turned out yummy!

I also took a HUGE risk, for me, and asked questions I needed some answers to because I was confused.

I got answers I not only wanted but needed. Thank you. It was hard for me to do. I did that for ME. :')

I have just made a big pan of "Cream of Mushroom" soup to freeze.

I will put the recipe up on the cooking page now, for all to try. :tup:

Good for you Srain! Well done!
