[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 662412, member: 17461"] I think the difference is not that our sisters don't matter. It is that we no longer believe in them. We are putting together the true pieces of what has always been the case with our sisters. We are finding startling similarities in the nature's of these sisters that we loved, and we are realizing that the sisters we loved never existed anywhere but in our hearts. There, we love our sisters; there in that space in our hearts where there was room we created for them. The sisters we love are not the sisters we have. We never had those sisters. We only had these strange, twisted versions of sisters. It is better to know. That, I think this is true ~ that is because we were seeing ourselves through the eyes of our abusers. We are clarifying our perspectives and points of view through the sharing we do here. We are beginning to savor the taste of ourselves through our own eyes. I think we are finding the truth in how everything has transpired with our sisters, with our mothers, in our families. It...I am strangely without anger regarding this information. It is almost as though I could not see what I see through some proscription set down by my mother. Like in that movie Stargate. Those yet enslaved were forbidden to write. They could live only in the present because, having no way to share and validate information, they couldn't know what was true. And the true things turned out to be incredible things, powerful things having to do with destiny and self determination. And once again, love in the agape sense of that word. Cedar [/QUOTE]
