[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 10758, member: 97"] I think she made me be more forgiving of others, but also knowing I do not have to have them in my world. more apt to give them a long rope to hang themselves. she also taught to me accept abuse. in time, I have learned to remove myself from toxic people with much less pain. I can see it is her own actions, and I do not cause this to happen. some people are seething inside and jump down your throat even when you simply ask them how they are doing or how their life is going. give them any outlet, they take it as a way to let off steam. I do tend to reach out to others maybe too much and try to help them explore their own feelings, try to get them to talk about things, try to extend a spirit of sisterhood. I am so grateful for my three sisters. they love me unconditionally. the two older ones mother me and one another. some things you just cannot forget that happened to you, the slapping and hitting stay long. I wish she and I could have just once gone shopping together, and just once I wish I could remember her giving me a loving touch, such as holding my hand when small, hugging me or holding me in her lap. her only touches caused pain. My father did twice as much as he could have and he truly tried to defend and protect us. I think my mother tries to make us have partners to continue corralling us. I have told my sons I love them and hugged them so much. I never want to be like her. I also will never accept abuse again. even the simple verbal abuse of someone who bullies or calls you "silly" to chastize, or someone who gets angry when you are showing them you care. thankfully I have to say I have no one else in my world who inflicts that on me anymore. thanks for letting me share this episode. I am at peace about the outcome and glad my relatives let her know she should have included us. perhaps she will never do this again. [/QUOTE]
