It is a challenge to rise above what we hear and see, and stay positive, keeping gently indifferent to the drama we migth otherwise participate in by being judgemental. True, Joanna.

We left her with the comments that we would not be involved, but would be available if she needs us. All too often I have found that being decent to others could put me in a toxic situation that I was unwilling or unable to handle because of my own history. Discreetly stepping back in a loving manner and allowing others to live out their own destiny isn't easy because we are as objective of their situation as we are unaware of our own. (Clear as mud? Indeed.) I pray for my friend. When I see her I greet her with all the warmth and love that I can to reassure her that I meant what I said-I'll be there. And I pray that she will survive what she is living through. I miss her terribly though...

It is more recognized and less tolerated because of those of us who choose/have chosen to say "ENOUGH". Living beyond abuse is, indeed, a learned skillset we need to hold close, and part of that is relaxing into the pain, releasing it, and realizing we are beyond it, finally. Once I acknowledged my own history, it had much less power to control and I found I could finally have decent relationships. Translating that into my workplace is something I'm still working on. :) Blessings! We all have our demons and abuse and bullying is rampant in society.

Such savagery. Yes, both your step-father and Mother cooperated, and it is such a terrible way to have to live, even though it is your 'normal'. My empathy. Knowing you (before you incarnated) chose such a hard and painful path when young, doesn't really make it easier. It seems like there ought to be another way to have been given the lesson of learning courage and self-love in spite of cruelty, to learn to be different than those who raised you and wipe out that meanness by refusing to copy it. It is an emotional landfill at time, and you are letting the stored memories and hurts go so they lose their hold over you. You are not your parents. You have overcome, you are reaching the blessing God always intended for you. Fear begone. You allow monsters in your life no longer. You are love and light. Darkness is not allowed in your life anymore. You have the power to be YOU, reparented by you, shaped with kindness, loving awareness and wisdom. If there was any balancing of former actions in a past life to be done in this lifetime, you have done it and it is completed. ((hugs)) Oh Joanna,

And, there is absolutely no reason to ration love, because love expands as it is released." Very very very true Joanna. And the first things I was capable of doing your 7 steps type of opening up with was with animals a few years ago, the dogs or cats I encountered on my walks or my travels. They were safe. And it works. And now I can do it a little on my blog too wth other bloggers I like:) Or with people I meet briefly that I'm not afraid of or intimidated by. Learning to love freely takes time and practice, a reparenting:) “There is no such thing as too much love. And, there is absolutely no reason to ration love, because love expands as it is released.”
