Thank you stilltrying! I'm going to print this out.
Thank you also, mallowcup! I am wallowing in my own self-pity. I don't mean to, but I can see that I am. I am having unrealistic expectations! I will put physical distance between myself and them. I know that you don't understand why I remain. I should have hung up on my uncle when he was attacking my worth.
Most of these people equate someone's worth by their belongings or the size of their home or the year of their car. I don't have much or monetary value, so in their eyes, that makes me not worth much.
I keep having HOPE that they'll begin to treat me better.
Unrealistic expectations!
Thanks for helping me to look at myself, mallowcup!
Grace
