[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 652374, member: 17461"] Well, I think we did not know the subtler abnormalities were abnormal. The beatings and verbal abuse ~ I think we knew those were wrong, but that part gets pretty complex. What it comes down to is that we are carrying guilt and shame that are not real. That is where freedom is for us, I think. Where we feel an inadequacy or shame or disgust ~ those are the places ready to heal. Brene Brown studies shame, and recovering from it. If you google her on TED, you will find twenty minute presentations which I think will be helpful. They were helpful to me. Another excellent book is [U]Self Esteem[/U], by McKay/Fanning. Patricia Evans [U]The Verbally Abusive Relationship.[/U] Joel Osteen's sermons were very helpful to me. We are fortunate. I am so happy to know you had your family together on vacation and that everything went well for you. :O) Cedar Oh. Gratitude, so we can celebrate all that we have wholeheartedly. For that, Annie Lamott. She will be on Facebook, and may be on TED, as well. Sarah Ban Breathnach's [U]Simple Abundance.[/U] [U]The Power of Now[/U], Eckhart Tolle. [U]Dance of the Spirit, the Seven Steps of Women's Spirituality[/U], Maria Harris. [U]Women Who Run With the Wolves[/U], Clarissa Pinkola Estes. [/QUOTE]
