Trying to detach - part deux

[Cherry]

You are in no means a failure. And you need to see that for yourself and truly believe it. Are you seeing an ic? Maybe that would help a little? You truly are doing great. You should be proud of yourself for still getting by with life, it isn't easy. And it's all too easy when feeling hurt to hide away and cut yourself off from any kind of social life. But you haven't, you get up and go to work. You meet with friends, and you're an amazing mum, just look at what a bright young D you have- she has her head screwed on far more than a lot of 15 year olds, and more wisdom and logical thinking than a lot of adults, and this is because of you, and how you've raised her. That isn't a failure honey!

We all have these thoughts at some point I'm sure, unsure if you actually want them back. And it hurts when we feel let down from them. Just use those feelings of anger to spur you on to be more determined to be the best you can be.

You are doing good!! And I'm sure we have all had those thoughts on revenge. In my culture, the women are super feisty. I think some of my cousins would have for sure lost it. I guess I'm an exception to the stereotype. Not saying I haven't had my moments of these revenge attacks, but I just always think- what will I achieve. Will it really help me? Will it help the sitch..
