[QUOTE="Star*, post: 539275, member: 4964"] I have a card for you......but was not sure if you wanted a birthday card......you mentioned you HATE birthdays. So it's here. Not sent. Shame too - it's funny as all get out. Has a donkey on it and everything. I want to add something to your ASTONISHING post. FIRST? It takes a TON of courage to make a post like this. To write about an event like this that is life-altering isn't easy. Even years later? You see that it's still stuck in your mind, and it has changed the way you think, how you do things, how you percieve things.......how you even ALLOW yourself to CELEBRATE YOURSELF. That one event - FOREVER changed a very special day - ONE SINGLE day - that has trickled down in your life and probably caused you to do many, many things differently in your life that you may or may NOT be aware of. It's like fractured glass. Or stepping on ice.......watching the little fractures run everywhere. No pressure? No fraturals.....Same in life with abusive relationships. Years ago? I met and married a man that abused, tortured and tried to kill me numerous times. This happend over and over the course of our marriage. Finally I got out, and got counseling - I was in counseling for more than 15 years to put my life back together from the things that man did to me AND the things that my life needed to be FIXED from being adopted and not understanding how blessed I was - and how things got misconstrued in my head....and my sense of self-worth. ONE event in a persons life can get so convoluted it sets in motion a chain of events that alters them forever - and that can be something as SIMPLE as a bad day on the playground, or as serious as being bullied or a parents divorce, or child abuse. Don't EVER be afraid to seek counseling and continue to talk with someone about things in your life that happened and get it OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM and MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE - because the things that happened to me?

And you know if it is --------(and mine is on occasion) lol......(raises eyebrow) hmmmm......but seriously ------ TIA - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS I HAVE NEVER MET IN MY ENTIRE LIFE ____________ I THINK YOU ARE BRAVE< BEAUTIFUL........AND BOLD!!!!!!!!!!
