Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thank you Liane! It means a lot. Right now I'mnot in too good a place. Feeling kinda down about some choices I made in my past. And I am not sure how to "let go" of the negativity surrounding these situations. I don't want to be a victim any longer. And it's difficult to explain to my family (especially my dad) why I made those choices. He just doesn't seem to understand. In fact he takes the opposite approach and tells me I ask to be treated the way I've been. He doesn't take any responsability for why I made those decisions. He is an ordained minister. I love church and having faith, however my dad tells me I'm not doing enough and reminds me of the mistakes I made and feels I had the choice to change what happened. He doesn't understand and doesn't want to either. I was in an abusive marriage. This man isolated me from all of my friends and family, made it seem like all I had was him and his parents. I have 2 children from a previous marraige and untill Jan '04 I had custody. Now, because of the 2nd husband I have monitored visits and my children's father moved to a different state making visitation pretty difficult. Right now I am feeling so lost and a like a complete failure. That's the condensed version of my brokenness. I want to be whole, don't want to "plot" (in my head) ways to get even with my childrens father. I just want to live, have a life and if my children come home then that's a bonus!

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi , I just wanted to say hi and see if I can help at all. I know it's hard to look back at some of the choices we've had to make in life due to circumstances or whatever the situation, and not criticize oursleves for making what we (and usually our parents) call "mistakes". Our path is our own in life and each decision we make is "right" (whether it feels that way at the time is another thing!) for our progress as spirit souls. We have no need to explain ourselves, our choices, or anything we do to those who will never understand and who lack the wisdom anyway to see our progress and evolution through life. Try and focus your energy on the present and yourself and begin with ...."from this moment on" "Today's the first day of the rest of my life" sometimes get me back to working with what I need to do NOW. I can't change the past, the only thing I can do is learn from it. God know's I don't want to have to repeat some of those experiences again! This is what I think to myself about things I cant change. Ok, what have I learned? I always come to some conclusion about these things making who I am now. The person you were yesterday is not the person you are right now in this moment. You are forever evolving and will not be the same person again tomorrow. Same for us all. We are an ever evolving expression of unconditional love and all that embraces is what we ultimately strive for in this physical world. The power of God within us and God's expression through us. God is Love. Think of things that fill your heart with joy, and learning to forgive ourselves helps also, right in this moment, then we can truly forgive others and love more freely. Through each and every experience, we evolve to become more and more aware of our personal power as a spirit soul and I'm glad to hear you're not a victim anymore! Go girl. Take it back - it's yours!! Love & Light Rhonda ----- Original Message ----From: <lesliesangeleyes@...> Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 4:57:12 PMSubject: Re: [] Re: New to group Thank you Liane!
