realization


for so long i have been asking how can  i tc of myself? how can i get better? i realized that asking my a to leave yesterday was taking care of me in the best way i can. i got away from the madness for yesterday and today. i got to relax. which is what i wanted last night and today. relaxation. no nonsense and jibberish from my a's mouth. i chose to take away which was harming myself so that i could stay sane. tomorrow may be a different story, i may miss him and cry all day or still not care about him.  he is handling in the best way he knows how...by lying and being extemely harsh with me. for today i chose not to listen to it. i deserve peace of mind for 24 hours at least.

Do you have the "Just for today" bookmark that comes in the newcomers package? It's invaluable with a bunch of "Just for today" sayings.

Just for today... I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once. I can do something for 12 hours that would apall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

only u can tolerate what u will put up with, none of us deserves to be abused ~ it just took me so long to realize that i could simply stop it by removing myself...   I am worth much more than that & so R  U.


I'm proud of you & good for you, ur right, this is "TC' of yourself!


Every single day of my 4yr 2 month marriage, everything it all just got worse & worse, until I just couldn't take it ~ it was him or me.


We did have some exciting times but they were so small compared to the constant psychological abuse, I think he wanted to kill my soul.  I'll always pray for his well-being, recovery & love him with compassion cuz he is so sick but i never ever ever want to see him again!


love, -Kitty
