[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 653687, member: 17461"] He was successfully distracting her from being present in her own life and present to the time passing, of her life. Beautiful women (and beautiful men) are a wonderful gift to all of us. They are fun to look at and talk to and play with and be around. They are just so darn pretty, they make us happy. I am noticing that, now that I am old. Young people are just so unbelievably pretty. I chose a controlling male, too. Now that I am stronger, I think the time will come when I will be strong enough on my own. The trick in controlling someone is how much of the essential them the controller can twist or destroy before the controlled decides it is too much. So...who controlled whom, right? I certainly am chatty, this morning. Cedar But I began healing intentionally with that resolution to be kinder to myself. Not kind. Just kinder. It came to me at the strangest times. Kinder. I think what happened is that, because I was on the lookout for unkindness to myself in my own thought patterns, I could know it when someone else was being unkind to me. And I found I don't much care for it. I am not going to close this with my usual "F you, mom." because I don't want you all to think I am weird. But you know I am thinking it. Maybe I am doing alot of healing this morning. :mcsmiley1: [/QUOTE]
