Thank you for your words of support.

Yes, I have a strong belief in God and have sought much solace and understanding through spiritual/metaphysical teachings. Forgiveness issues are still a work in progress. In actuality, I am a pretty compassionate, forgiving person by nature but my mother continues to be emotionally and mentally abusive to me so I had to make a choice - continue to suffer at the hands of her very dysfunctional behavior vs. establishing and maintaining healthy borders and boundaries. After a lifetime of always forgoing my own needs and wants to accommodate her and others, I finally voted for myself and my wellbeing. Will wonders never cease? We are currently estranged.

From your mouth to God's ears about my story touching others and perhaps having a positive effect. This is the intention for sharing my story. I have always been the listener, the one people gravitate towards to unload their burdens. So this blog is a stretch for me. But I finally realize that I also need to be heard and even if I can only muster the courage to express my voice anonymously, at least it's a start and a step in the right direction. I am excited to share my journey with whoever wishes to be a part of it.
