> Hi, Ladybug: Love ladybugs!
What do I think of you?
> Your here aren't you?
> That says what a great person you are and how much strength you have.Thankyou. I attribute it to my faith, and wicked wit and sense of humor, without them, I would be drooling in a corner somewhere!
Coming out of a 31 year marriage is remarkable!
It was a horrific struggle. A ton of self-talk.
I am into mine 21 and I'm more than ready to leave and just haven't found the courage to do it.
It's so hard. A book that might be very valuable to you: Too Good To Leave, Too Bad To Stay by Mira Kirschenbaum. It really helps untangle your feelings.
But I've been pushed a little closer than ever the past 2 months.
What has pushed you?
> I can't wait to read your article.I look forward to your thoughts on it.
I am a person that is spiritual but I've never heard the phrase spritual abuse, interesting though! I have a feeling I'm going to find out when I read your story. You give me hope when I feel somewhat hopeless.
I am honored and humbled to hear that. Thankyou. I consider that one of my missions in life, as an overcomer and wounded-healer, I believe we are all supposed to make a difference in the world.
I believe that to NOT help others with the knowledge and experience I have, would be a travesty.
I just got home from seeing my therapist. She is just awesome I just wish I could feel the same about myself as I do her.
I wish you could too. It takes time.
She tells me I'm awesome, I think I'm rather ordinary.
I think we (especially the abused) are ALL EXTRA-ordinary.
> I still have a lot of room to grow but don't we all. We never stop growing and learning and the hard things we go through are what make us who we are.....
> Keep posting here and welcome to this group. I feel new, I read a lot but tend to stay to myself when it comes to posting.I hope you will stay in touch with me, and feel free to privately e-mail me, also.
I need to be better at it.
> Welcome and Hugs for how far you've come!!Thankyou for the welcome, and I look forward to getting to know you (and the others). Thankyou for the hugs, too!
