[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 677593, member: 17461"] That was perfect. A nice balance of openness and self-respect. Were you scared to send it? I was so scared to confront my mom about having been rude to D H. To have called her back on that was the beginning point of my self-recovery. I am fiercely glad I did that. :O) *** Maybe, we are falling in love with ourselves for the first time. Copa wrote this on a thread in PE: [I]The mother describes her panic because she knows she herself struggles with self-love, lamenting of her own self-abuse as a young woman, and how she came to begin to care for self by modeling her loving care of her own child.[/I] [I]"I began to model my love for myself after the love I had for my darling daughter. I told myself encouraging, empowering, delightful things—out loud. I fed myself wholesome, delicious meals, regularly. I made sure I got plenty of rest and plenty of play.
