I am mortified that I talked the way that I talked about myself. I lacked confidence and showed no respect for myself. I was needy and relied too much on him to validate how I felt about myself. I have really found my strength in the last few months and I have realized that I am such a better person now.
Hi swimming, this was exactly what I needed to hear this morning - thank you for sharing it. I'm not a LBS but this really hit home. I hope you don't mind that I copied part of this post into my thread, just so I can remember it and reread when I need to? Finally, if I might ask - was there anything in particular you did that really connected you with your strength; particularly your ability to detach from your need for his validation? Thanks very much again for sharing, FMV.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
