Truly-I think not asking for help cones from our childhoods-bc most of us here grew up in dysfunction and we wore a mask to the world. And for me I didn't have a role model at all that sought out help-victim mother and alcoholic father that both stuffed it under the rug. God wants us to ask for help-he's pleading for us to ask Him. It took me a lot if struggles (that I brought on myself) and finally admitting that I couldn't manage my life anymore to finally reach out. Re reading this thread makes me happy to see those doing the hard work to uncover all the ugliness, get to the bottom of it and rebuild. Good stuff, y'all!
