Well, I beleive being strong without being unkind or being an a$$ is the best way for me to move forward, with or without H coming around.
I know some would call this soft.
But I did 10 months of ranting and raging in WH's face, and apart from turning him off me completely, I could not beleive what I was allowing HIS ACTIONS turn me into!
I cannot let him have that power over me...
Not because I am being soft
Becauase I want to have self-respect and get anger out of my heart because it's hurting me and hurt me for too long being the 'victim' in all this.
This seriously just brought tears to my eyes.
This is not being soft.
It is being true to who you are.
When it is not a strategy, and not being done for "results," that is when you really begin to heal.
I am really happy for you.
Be true to yourself, Piano! Only YOU know what is best for YOU.
