Thank you to the SR mods for the stickies. I was feeling a little adrift and needed some support for my family stuff this morning. I dove into the stickies as tools for my ongoing Recovery.
Diving into the dysfunction is like being in a crazy-house mirror. Nothing makes sense. It's all crazy.
Thank you to the poster above for these words below. These are the words I needed to hear and will be repeating to myself:
*****
"My compliance has NO connection to their happiness. My difference of opinion has NO bearing on their misery. Their criticism / ridicule does NOT define me. God's Love does."
"God wants you to defend yourself. He doesn't want you to put up with [abuse]."
