I would like to reset myself to a little girl knowing what I have learned over the years. I think I would take good care of myself and let my family go to hell by themselves. I am angry now.
Gizmo - noooo!! It saddens my heart to hear that. I believe this thread to focus on the hurt not having happened. Truth is, we ALL want a clean, healthy, abuse free slate and loving family.
Just the idea of resetting myself I find depressing. I actually don't find it helpful at all. I don't find looking back a good thing in terms of magically wanting things to be different. I find it interferes with acceptance a lot. And I find acceptance very important for me. Life for me has to move forward. That is what life entails for all of us anyway. I have to look at the past to put it to rest and resolve present day issues caused by it but wishing is very harmful for me and I don't do it. My past is what it is and I would not be who I am if it was different. That does not mean I can't mourn it of course as I need to. But I want to work on growing and getting stronger and even more "me" rather than wishing I was someone different which I find very unhealthy for me.
I do wish I had an "off" button though. Just to have a break sometimes. :rolleyes:
