Hi Everybody

--- Quote --- I told her how angry I was with her and how much damage she did my boy. I told her her husband molested me and that she sickens me by standing by him. She was furious but I didn't care - it's the first time in my life I've had the courage to stand up to her and it felt damn good

--- Quote ---I feel happier and more content than I ever have, as well as more confident. I don't feel a need to act confident so much anymore - I feel it's alright to walk into a room and be quiet, whereas in the past I felt like I had to be the life and soul of the party, however badly I might be feeling. I'm trying to support my friends without taking over, to put my own needs first without being selfish, to say what I think without diluting it to make it acceptable to everyone and to have fun as much as I can. I'm a bit wobbly with it all but I'm trying!

Phoenix, the kettle's on! Good to see you. Hope you are doing okay? :)
Kay, thank you so much. I am trying! I'm thinking progression, not perfection (the opposite to the way I've always felt things had to be in the past). I don't feel great all the time, but I think I've accepted that I've been damaged by my experiences and that everything I do is part of that healing process. I'm getting better at living with my faults (I have faults! I also have a lot of good points, just like everybody else. I'm learning - slowly - that most people can love me with my faults as well. I don't need to be perfect for people to care about me). I'm getting better at talking to people - asking friends what I can do to help, rather than rushing in and taking over. With my mum I was expected to know before she did what she wanted, and her needs were probably more extreme than most people's, so it's left my perception of 'what to do in a crisis' a bit wonky, to say the least. So I'm trying to give other people the opportunity to tell me what they need, and to accept that they may not want what I think they should! It's all a bit new, still, but I'm hanging in there. On the whole, it feels good. Thank you for your kind words :)
Bonesie - right back at ya! ((((((()))))) xx
