So now, having done all that, I was compelled to make another comment, explaining it all.

If that makes me a survivor then alert Jeff Probst. I've been told I hold a grudge but really, I think I just have a wary soul, after having survived my childhood, that makes me unwilling to allow anyone a second chance at inflicting pain. I think as I've aged, I've gotten better at discerning intentional vs unintentional acts and therefore I can forgive and move on better, but there was definitely a time when I had a ONE STRIKE AND YOU'RE OUT policy. <br />Am I stronger for all I've experienced? Hmmmm . . . sometimes I think I've been forged into something stronger but then I find some flaw and realize that there are pressure lines just waiting to be tapped, that will cause me to crumble. I'm not as self-destructive as I once was, though, so I don't poke at them or advertise them like I used to. :)thesleepdeprivedmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403033494687027583noreply@blogger.com
