One thing I've learned, growing up in an abusive family is The Point of No Return. This is the point in a relationship, where I get so mad at the other person that I am all anger and hurt. I've been to the point of no return so many times in my life...
I must say, that this point is so familiar to me that many many many relationships of mine have ended (making it by definition, the point of no return).
Does anybody else no of what I speak? Just curious.
I just wanted to say that this week, I did not go there. It would have been easy to, but I didn't. I decided (naturally, it was actually easy for the first time in my life) to present my true self. My true self does not wish to go there, to the point of no return. My true self is not angry, is not hurting - my true self is accepting and caring and kind. That's all.
Have a good night. I'm with my boyfriend and he is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me in this world. I realize that tonight. I am safe, I have a good job, I have food in my tummy, and I am warm and loved. I hope that everyone else on this board and those that I love and care about are safe and warm tonight. And I hope that in some small way I can make other's lives better. But if not, it will not be for not trying.
