Family members can be vexing to blatantly abusive to us. I cant tell anyone how to cope with family members who wont listen or accept us as we are. I know all about that.
All I knew was hurt, pain and suffering. I would come away from those exchanges emotionally and physically wrecked, I felt no joy, no peace. Then I got to thinking... which scares me every time I do it. This time, instead of being mad and making them to blame for my hurt, I asked myself, what in the wide world was I doing to myself... I kept going back to the same old dry well.
Why waste good creative energy going back to that damned dry well. Ha! I dig my own well and drink from it any time I want to. The truth is, and this is the scary part.. I don't need acceptance or approval from anyone, any group, my family, lovers, or friends. I do not need them to validate my existence, life, journey (gawd I hate that word), path, whatever! I give it to myself. Self realization, holy crap! I told you it was scary.
