Nothing else, besides the well-being of those who I love and love me in return, matters. <br /><br />I've taken my power back. <br /><br />I hope you are able to find peace. You deserve it.Dani @ PFLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119497328184770870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-77768723620703901732009-09-04T15:43:53.550-06:002009-09-04T15:43:53.550-06:00When I was in rehab I had to take an anger managem...When I was in rehab I had to take an anger management class. I didn't think I was angry. Then the teacher said something I have never forgotten. <br /><br />Anger is a precieved injustice!!<br /><br />So all the times I got my feeling hurt over the years....I was really angry. Big wake up call on the anger front. I have been trying to walk my anger away. Seems to be working.<br /><br />I am with Roxie...it's your turn to thrive!

I turned my anger inward for years - it was the only thing I knew how to do. Now I'm learning different, more adult and more appropriate ways to process all my emotions that I was never allowed to have. And you will learn that too.<br /><br />Your story is very powerful and I know that you will come through all of this. It will take some time to get through the anger - for me, I had to keep processing and reprocessing. Good luck on your journey.Roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440676304336222503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-65166104952471509772009-09-04T13:33:53.525-06:002009-09-04T13:33:53.525-06:00I have also recognized a deep-seated rage in mysel...I have also recognized a deep-seated rage in myself, and as I become kinder to myself, it's starting to bubble up. And it scares me! I don't want it to cause havoc in my life. But this time I'm not going to turn it inward again. I think I'd better get acquainted with the punching bag at gym!<br /><br />I can't say this enough - you have come a long way already. You have in fact done more with your life than many others who had none of your challenges. There is opportunity in adversity. Yes, it's awful and unfair that you had such a childhood, but it's made you into an extraordinary woman.Hanliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476650601531649816noreply@blogger.com
