[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 73741, member: 831"] I had to quote this written by CJ because it reflects so much of how I view myself as an adult in relation to my deceased Father and my childhood. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">He never said he was sorry, he never repented, he never changed his ways. Have I forgotten him? No...though his horrible behavior shaped me in ways he never dreamed. I learned to stand up for myself, to face challenges, to not allow myself to be physically, verbally, or emotionally abused. I am a strong, healthy woman today because I wanted to never hear, "You're just like your dad." </div></div> It reminds me of the song, "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera (A great song, by the way, for inspriration to move past wrongs done against you). Here's the chorus: [i]I am a fighter and I I ain't goin' stop There is no turning back I've had enough 'Cause it makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter Thought I would forget But I remember I remember I'll remember, I'll remember Thought I would forget But I remember I remember I'll remember, I'll remember 'Cause it makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter [/i] If people's personalities are shaped by experience, I sometimes wonder if I would be the same person if I had had a more nurturing, and loving, environment? My Dad, who was a lot like CJs, could be so very cruel to me. As an adult, I find that I cannot tolerate cruely of any kind in my presense. I also carry this into my work. What I've tried to do is to take the negative experiences in my life and turn that into positive energy in which I might make this little blue ball of ours a better place because I was here. This has been very healing to me. [/QUOTE]
