Labug, you got me thinking there... My current direction is for me and for the first time, probably ever, I'm feeling secure with who I am. Being the doormat, feeling weak, etc... of my past are all directly related to my ego of not wanting to look like a failure to everyone that thought I had the perfect life with a great M. People always commented how great a family we were and I didn't want to let them down. We were a poster family for a while in our church circle for how us going back to God saved our M...
There is a LONG list of things I regret doing just because I thought it would make someone else happy. Not blaming them, I did it to myself and have learned a valuable lesson (so what if it took 38 years...).
I recently learned about the Karpman Drama Triangle and can relate so many situations in my life to that simple diagram.
Personality is who the world sees, character is who you are
