[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 659126, member: 13542"] Oh COM, this made me cry. And reminded me how we all bring our history, our hurts, our perceptions to the table......and there is no way others could know any of that and why we may have acted in some fashion.......unless we take the risk to share it. What a beautiful, honest, thoughtful and courageous post COM, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. You took your own self inventory and told yourself the truth and acted in a noble way.......and look what happened.......you opened the door for new intimacy to come in, you invited everyone to open their hearts because you opened yours with your vulnerability, your willingness to be truthful without judging and your humility. COM, it is so difficult for us to see the truth about our own selves, our own control issues, our own fears, our own frailties and the places where we have gotten cemented in our own thinking........and yet, as you've shown us over and over again, when we look deep into ourselves and have the courage to uncover our own truths without blame, judgment or holding on to a false persona of perfection or "the all good mother".......we can heal, grow and form healthy, loving, open and strong intimate bonds with those we love. Bravo. I've grown the most when I become willing to accept my own "stuff" and change. When I become willing to accept responsibility for my own actions. When I stop pointing outside myself and focusing on anything but me and what I've done. That's when the real change happens. You've consistently done that COM and your life reflects that willingness by offering you LOVE in every form. As you said.... I believe when we love and accept [B][U]ourselves,[/U][/B] going about OUR business is natural. [/QUOTE]
