[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 648850, member: 17461"] Yes. It is good for you to remember that. (Good for me to do that, too.) We are becoming so keenly aware of the nastiness in the people we trusted to love and want the best for us. Good on us!!! Maybe it will help us to be stronger if we envision ourselves as standing up for our rights as surely as overworked, disadvantaged people everywhere must stand up for their rights, too. :strikesmileys: I hear a kind of strength and hope and happiness in your writing now. I am glad. :hugs: Are you aware that you continue to mention working with animals? Perhaps that is what you love most. We can be honest and helpful and loving to animals without being taken advantage of. Here is an interesting story: So, I was at work the other day. A couple came in, and bought a painting of a parrot. We got to talking about the parrot and the painting and ~ their parrots. Turns out both partners to this marriage had been divorced, found themselves with nothing but their jobs, and started fresh. Each had somehow gravitated toward the other through their love of parrots and together, had gone on to create an officially sanctioned, licensed, regional safe-haven for abused parrots. It was an interesting conversation in two ways: First, had this couple stayed in their dysfunctional marriages, they would have continued their caretaking roles in that thankless, being-judged way that is so hurtful to those of us who are natural caretakers. And second, because this couple took risks and made changes in their own lives, they found one another and, together, created a safe haven for innocent creatures living painfully abusive lives, too. It will be fun to celebrate where life will take you, now that, like me (and of course, like Earth MWM), you are seeing everything from a changed perspective. We are fortunate, in this.
