Tell me all about it, dear...

You just went through a very highly stressful, scary time. I'm so very happy and relieved that things turned out benign, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if you needed a lot of rest and recovery time after what you've just been through. I hope you get lots more comfort this week.

You shattered the pattern. You forged a new way. You are to be commended. You are a hero. Bask in your peace. You have earned it.

If you are abused you are more likely to become an abuser and therefore deserve special respect and credibility if you break the cycle. Emailing you more on the subject.

I'm with you....I don't agree that being in that type of situation means you will continue to fulfill the cycle. You may have more liklihood to fall into that behavior but it doesn't mean you will. People who toss out that little nugget of "information" may use it as their excuse for their own behavior. My husband's father was a terrible alcoholic...my husband won't touch alcohol. He came from an abusive family and he tries very hard not to let his anger outweigh his reasoning skills. I was abused too and I certainly would not do that to anyone else. Glad you were brave enough to let it all out...I expect all you have gone through this week worrying about your body made you more able to let it out.

Abuse is a choice, we can choose to repeat the pattern or to break it. I would like to think that MANY of us have broken it. I am constantly told I am a good parent to my son. I know it is because I strive to give him all the love, support and respect that I never received from anyone in my biological family. I refuse to be like them, act like them or in any way resemble them. I am so glad you pushed back on that one. I'm sick of all the judgmental assumptions that people make about others. Especially when they haven't walked in their shoes. hugs for you!
