[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 119536, member: 2211"] {{{Marcie}}} I am sorry that you're feeling this way. I think no matter how hard any of us try to not allow these mean people hurt us with their evil words, it sometimes manages to creep into our hearts and minds and wreak havoc. It's okay to acknowledge the pain and the hurt this has caused you. And then, you let it go. Embrace the goodness and the loving people that ARE in your life and who DO appreciate how far you've come and what a lovely woman you've grown into. We all have a past and there's no getting away from it, we know it's there and we can admit that it wasn't always rosy, but to be reminded of every stupid thing you did as a teen, well, that's just mean and not necessary. Your mom is toxic and you have to build a padded wall of protection for yourself away from her. My sister is the toxic one in my life. I've fanagled a way with myself to deal with her on a very limited basis and only when necessary. That means that I forego certain family occasions at times and it means that I have to have my guard up at times. It's okay really because I know that there is another side to my life. It is the side of my life that is truly MINE. It is filled with the love of my H, my kids, my friends in person and my friends here, who truly understand. Marcie, protect yourself, do something nice for yourself and embrace the goodness in your life. Allow yourself to feel the love and TLC from those you REALLY know who you are and what you stand for and how you choose to live your life. You are a good person. [/QUOTE]
