[USER=18958]@Copabanana[/USER] , I too know what it's like to have your own child tell lies about you. My son has told many people many lies.
It used to really bother me. I wanted to scream from the roof tops telling people "Don't you know he's lying???"
I finally got to the point that I just didn't care what others thought. If they chose to believe my son over me, the one who lives a responsible life and has morals and values then I didn't need those people in my life.
As for saying ugly things, I've done that too. I'm sure we all have. Nothing like a Difficult Child to bring out the worst in you.
I'm sorry you experienced an unpleasant childhood. I too know what that's like. My bio-father sexually abused me and my sisters and come to find out later in life some of our friends.
I have learned that the past holds no power over me unless I let it and I won't let it. I choose to live in the present and I do not let my past define me. Each day is brand new and I get to decide how I will live it. I always liked the analogy of the present is just that, it's a present that gets to be unwrapped each day.
It's not an easy journey we are all on. I'm so glad that we are here for each other to share with. I'm so glad you are here with us, you have an amazing way of expressing yourself.
