It hit me so hard when margo siad she was humbled about Gypsy's and Journey's posts, because although they experienced true nightmares ((((Gypsy & Journey))))) I was humbled when Margo first posted about watching her dad beat up her mom. Also, JT just wrote "not earth shattering" about one of her experiences but I was blown away when I read her first post as well. My mother may have hated me and my father neglected me but they hated eachother more and stayed together so ALL of the focus was on me. Even though it was negative in a sense, I couldn't imagine what it must have been like to have both my parents choose new partners over me. ((((((((Margo & JT)))))))

What the hell .......((((((((((((Group Hug)))))))))))))

I'm wondering why I tend to minimize my own experience when I hear all of the other situations. It almost exactly mirrors how I lived my whole life, neglecting myself so I could focus on others. I see almost all of us doing that. What do you guys think?
