I didn't have many good examples of men...my grandfather was...he was a saint............as far as women my mom tried.she taught what she knew, ya know? But really most of the women around me were very very codependent on men for their survival, and very bitter about it all...I looked to women I would read about......Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton......etc...etc......current women also Jane Paulie........just would read what I thought was strong or beautiful aboutt hem and try to emulate that.I swore I would be 'different' than the women in my life...I would rise above the victimhood and bitterness, and misery of never becoming free to find your own voice.........
I guess in some areas I have succeeded...and well..in others I have much room to improve...........we can learn and be motivated and even blesses by the weak and the strong....we are all just humans in the end...trying to make it through.............
