That was simply wonderful Nina!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and encouragement! It is always such a blessing to me and especially right now. I have been having problems trying to get to your blog lately, finally had to go through someone else to get here. Now I have it bookmarked so should have no trouble now. Had that problem with a couple other blogs too, don’t know why. I hope you are having a wonderful day Nina!!ššŗššš
Iām glad to know you find these posts encouraging. Hmmm…wonder whatās up with my blog?? Itās imploding!! See? Itās time for me to finish this story and move onto something else. Enough about me already! Ha!
But ya knowāone of the sweetest things thatās happened here (besides you and Muffinš) is the comments I get from people who had similar experiences with growing up in emotionally abusive homes. This is why I share my strugglesāand itās totally worth it!
Some days itās really tough for me to reconcile how any mother would be so cruel to her child. And then I read articles about the ādamaging effects of emotional abuse into adulthoodā…Iām sort of a mess. Admitting it is embarrassing. And at the same timeāliberating too. I figure God still has a plan for me yet…but some days I feel like a great big wasteland that never reached her full potential…and how do I face God then? Ummmāsorry God…I know you gave me these talents to develop when I was a kid…but (what? I was too weak? Too angry? To beaten down? Thatās my excuse?) here I am giving it my best nowācause itās all Iāve gotāand I want to make up for the many poor choices I made in life trying to find me. I donāt want to play victim anymore…I would like to know what ānormal healthyā feels like. Emotional maturity. Has a nice ring to it, eh?
Maybe I could have been a good mother and raised healthy kids. What a blessing that would have been! What a joy to encourage children to grow up and develop all their own passions and dreams…and show them all of this wonderful worldāand snowflakes. And perhaps most importantlyāteach them that despite all the mean-spirited people who would try and crush their dreamsāitās okāthey are loved beyond measure…keep striving keep practicing keep learning every day…give them ways to overcome their fears and build self confidence. And never ever mock them or humiliate them. Ever. Listen to them…
So whoaāthat was way more than I expected to write! Thank you for letting me be meāwhich is sometimes difficult. But at the same timeāfeels nice too. I appreciate your company, Steve and all the laughs too! Iāll check back in with you and Muffin in the morning. š
