[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 657516, member: 1550"] I'll never be 100% there. And neither will anyone who grew up in a home like ours. And I don't know what to say to these people. I never did know what to say and I WAS afraid of my mother. I was afraid of her mouth that mocked me and made fun of me and belittled me. I did talk back. But I was the kid and I was still scared. It is easy to make me feel ashamed, even if I have nothing to be ashamed about. So I am afraid of Thing 2 as well. I have a question for you. You certainly do not have to answer or apologize or even address it. Why do you still talk to your FOO? Remember, I tried calling E. too because I wanted to settle things while were both in this lifetime, in accordance with my beliefs, but it didn't work. It lead to more heartache than if I'd just dumped her...but I felt it was not the right thing to do. I don't know why. I guess maybe I knew how how much she hated me, but didn't want to admit it to myself. The reason it is easy to be brave is because I absolutely have decided I will never face Thing 1 or 2's words again. I will see them once more. Then *poof* forever, unless we have to work it out in the afterlife. But in this life? I have a family. They are not needed. [/QUOTE]
