[QUOTE="Star*, post: 415104, member: 4964"] Bubble o happiness....? (makes face) I like the wall much better! Good job! Excellent analogy Daisy Face. ! My Mom told me years ago that each injustice my x did to me would be like a brick. Every brick would be laid, and eventually a course would be laid and that course would be laid on top another course, another course, and another course until he would do that ONE FINAL THING - and I would have to stand on my tippy toes to put that one final 'brick' on the very top course of the very top wall. Then someday - when I would stretch so far to put that last brick in? That brick would fall, and hit me in the head. That brick that hit me in the head (or that injustice) would be the one that would cause me to seek out thearapy, and start myself in the right direction to leave him. My Mother was right. All those years of abuse, and cheating, and lying, and treating me badly added up brick by brick and I forgave him, and put a brick in my wall. Then one day? For no particular reason or injustice - I just tried to put one last brick in my wall and it 'HIT' me. I can't even remember really what it was that he did, and it wasn't anything anywhere near as severe as he had done in the past; minor really as I remember, but that was it. I was done. I can even remember the look on his face. And then? I was done. Pretty much the same thing I think with Dude. Except it was a much shorter wall - almost a flower box. [/QUOTE]
