Healing from a lifetime of self-deprecation

[still hopeful]

Thank you again, faithisbelieving.

I enjoy our few communications very much. You are a very compassionate and wise man and I appreciate you taking the time with me offering your counsel when you do.

I am certainly working on living. Right now I have a small number of challenges to tackle, and although they are small in number, they are big in nature. Working my way through to the other side of my sitch with XW is certainly helping, but even that is a new beginning and I'm learning to focus on behaviors that will serve me well in MY life as I move forward.

One challenge with regard to XW is distancing myself from her toxic, not-so-nice behavior towards me. I ran into it a bit this weekend, and since I refuse to engage in a fight with here, I was able to avoid it all and let it pass. Sadly, the memory of similar BS made me anxious and sad. I know I'll get better at deflecting this kind of stuff as a continue to personally grow and emotionally distance myself from her. I'm doing it, but it's still a lingering annoyance.

I will be fine. Actually, I know I'll be better than fine. I loosed the chains on myself that I had placed on my during my sitch. I feel free. I am free. Without knowing any more about the abundance mentality vs. scarcity, my choice is clear; I choose abundance and happiness. I choose to rock on.

Thank you, FIB
Tom
