Loving yourself

[2chickiebaby]

I think when we can step back and see what is going on ...it's easier to realize that most people are not trying to hurt us deliberately but out of their own issues, do.  It's hard!! 

The case of Isitme's MIL to be....I wonder if those are HER issues and Isitme is bearing the brunt of it? There is no excuse for it and it hurts badly when done to a DIL.  I do realize that.

yes, when we realise that the people abusing, are doing it because of their own issues it makes it easier to understand and not take it all on ourselves

  And it's best to leave them.   If you are not there for them to abuse, they will just find a replacement.

normally they turn their abuse on someone else if you do not tolerate it, they can only abuse people who tolerate it.

Great posts, ladies!  Creme, I live alone as well and I really enjoy it!  I work a full time job, caretake my mom, play with the grandkids I am allowed to see, go out with my girlfriends and go home to peaceful home and do what I want to do and when I want to do it.  It is pretty nice to love yourself!

if we do not love ourselves no one else can

SO very true!!!!

Today I have loved myself by seeing how much wiser and more experienced I am then the younger people around me.  I have also realized that "forgiveness" is part of loving yourself, and when you forgive someone, you absolutely will feel more valuable in the end. 

Cheer's to me!

[Peace]

AWESOME, COCO!!!!
