[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 731642, member: 18958"] Swot. I want to add a couple things about this. I am not an attorney, so cannot speak as one. If somebody calls me a hysteric, (they have), the fact that my therapist diagnoses me as a malingerer is neither here nor there to disprove calling me a hysteric. Because there are 10 million other therapists who could diagnose me as a hysteric. We know this from watching TV where paid for hire psychiatrists seem to testify to whatever. Which brings me to my point. Anybody can say or do anything (except yell fire, or meet the criteria lil lays out.) I kept thinking about a situation I was involved in in a work situation. I decided to work late every night to start a college. Everybody knew I did it. That it was my idea and my work. Hundreds of people knew. I worked near double shifts for months. And I did it. The first semester there were 16 students. They had books, proctored exams. Study halls. They got college credit. It was a great success. I received no benefit other than the joy of it. I moved to another job in another city and asked a colleague for a letter of reference. It was a beautiful letter. Except for one line. He claimed that he started the college and I assisted him. During the whole time he had leukemia and was barely doing his own job. But the thing is, even writing that last part, defending myself that he could not have done it, is already buying in. You see. I have seen in my life that people can do and say anything whatsoever they choose. And there is not a thing I can do. I learned this first as a child. Abuse of power. I believe this is why I buy in. Because part of me still is disempowered. I give up. Believing on some level that this reality that another person presents will always win. And I will lose. I believe this is where I need to put my energy, to not go there, in situations where others seek to define me in self serving ways, or otherwise betray me. Shocked. I am shocked. That people can be treacherous. Liars. Betrayers. Pretenders. users. Over and over again I throw myself under the bus to empower others. Why go there? Who cares? Your sister is a damaged and suffering person. So is this work colleague. So is my sister. They have nothing to do with us anymore. President Obama is my role model. With him and Michelle we can go high. [/QUOTE]
