Steve,
Have you read the books by Louise Hay “You can heal your Life” and “The power within you”?

thanks for opening up Grace.. when you share your life experiences, you find others that can relate to you and it makes it easier to deal with these issues. I’m a firm believer in that life’s lessons are taught not through easy times but when life gets tough. That’s when you really grow as a person

Steve, you stirred up some new and old thoughts and emotions with this post and before I bore you, yet again, with my babble, I am going to post onto my blog and send you a link if you are at all interested.

You stated “coming full circle” I too feel and believe I’ve started a second “teenage hood” but with my eyes wide opened this time, knowing what I want and not what others may want me to do and ironically, with full support this time. We shall see what 2009 brings… I do hope I finally get my a$$ in gear.

Wow… reading this post kind of dredged up some stuff for me today. Holidays are never that great for me anyways, but… my dad left us when I was like 7, and my brother was an infant. He was never around and when I tried to contact him right before college, well.. let’s just say that it didn’t go well and I regretted it for the rest of my life. I ended up telling my brother that his father was a great man, but that he had passed away when he was an infant so that he would never know what an ass our birth father really was. It took a psych class in high school for me to find out that I wasn’t the usual child of divorce because i was SO happy when he left us. No more yelling and no more watching him beat on my mother. Imagine my surprise when he tried to come back into my life about ten years ago.. and then when his new wife (one of many he’d cheated on my mother with) called me to tell me that he was feeling sickly and wanted to see me (about 3 years ago?)… My mother told me she was fine if I wanted to see him, but I had nothing left for this person anymore. I was done. Then about a year ago, his new wife called me to tell me that he had passed on and that she wanted me to claim the body. She even had the balls to tell me that I was a bad daughter because I hadn’t made an effort to contact my “father”, etc. etc. Lots of mixed emotions on that one to say the least, but after telling her that she had no idea what she was talking about. I finally had the closure that I’d been looking for I guess. He’s no longer a part of my life in any way. Just bad memories that made me a stronger person today. I also find myself being the “caretaker” most of the time. It’s easy to step into that role because that was a big whole in my life as well. Sometimes it’s hard because there are those that do abuse the situations.. I’m sure you know first hand, but it’s something I can’t help, and I just try not to regret anything I decide to do. After all it’s ultimately my decision, so it’s really on me and not anyone else right?

Wow.. sorry for the babbling, but the floodgates just kind of opened up… Hope you have a great holiday!
