[QUOTE="Fran, post: 106320, member: 3"] I'm a big fan of compartmentalizing. One room is where I wear a mom hat. I close the door when it's too difficult to function or I don't have to be the mom. I wear a daughter hat in another room which I close when I don't need to be in that role. Forgiveness is a biggie for me but it's hard to not relive the experience and carry it as a huge stone on my back. I forgive and then try to keep the door closed on the experience. It's never forgotten but it's behind that door so I don't have to relive it day in and day out. I love when every once in a while I can wear a hat that gives me pleasure, peace or satisfaction. Sometimes it's being with friends, or siblings. Almost always when I'm with husband. In that role I am sometimes wife and sometimes his girlfriend, sometimes confidant, always always try to have laughter. I just don't know how else to not allow the negative to contaminate all the positive. Glad you found the courage to seek a place where you can experience satisfaction, happiness, joy but all of it leads to hope. in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
