Sometimes it feels safer to stay and wallow and be unhappy, if you know what I mean? It's good to be able to spit it all out and get on with things.

I am a castle but the moat around me is full of infested waters. No matter how tight the windows are shut, the stench comes it. But at a certain point I realize that I can build a bridge and get away from this castle and get away from this moat and find a better spot. I'm working on building the bridge, but working is better than trying to live with the pestilential stench thinking that this is the way it should be. <BR/><BR/>Channeling some disco diva: I will survive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-4332689534947379332009-03-11T17:39:00.000-05:002009-03-11T17:39:00.000-05:00wow, very profound. and I am so happy for you that...wow, very profound. and I am so happy for you that you were able to reach that point of acceptance and find peace in your life. bravo!

I see how other women are with their mother's and father's, and I get very lonely, mad, jealous, bitter. I can't help it. I will never, ever know the love of a mother or father. I will never have a close family, such as brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins. I'll never how a real marriage should actually feel and I wonder if I will always feel like the victim. I also wonder if I should have just stayed single. I think it would have been easier for not only me, but my new husband. <BR/><BR/>But other times, I'm so thankful for what I have, and for I am, because the person I COULD have turned out to be? It's scary to think of her. Scary to think of what her life would have been like and how miserable she and her children would have been.<BR/><BR/>Very nice post.
