I had a feeling when I left Bahrain with all my kids that at some point some of them would return. After all, it is their home.<br /><br />Oby...I tried before to change myself but I was doing it for others. To maintain relationships etc., but it never worked and I failed horribly...causing more hurt to myself and them. This time I know I'm doing it for me and it has made all the difference. And I agree, usually the ones that treated us so badly don't even think about us after they (or we) walk away. We, the abused, are the ones that allow them to continue abusing us by keeping them constantly in our thoughts.

It allows one to breathe again and live. NOT an easy thing to do though. Much easier in theory than in practice. But the truth of it is is that we carry all that baggage and hurt with us and the ones that have harmed us have moved on long ago and not thought about it at all. I am so happy for you Coolred! I look forward to reading more from you. I am glad that you found your voice again.obynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729473620051154675.post-81009469448031632732013-04-22T14:53:53.216-07:002013-04-22T14:53:53.216-07:00I am so glad that you are in such a good place.

I have always known I've had anger issues (that manifested really during the last year of my marriage) but attempting to do anything about it was never really something I attempted. Consequently...I have suffered and made others suffer from it. I hope to amend that with those closest to me. I hope there is enough time left for that.

There are so many people who never admit they have anger (or other) issues, let alone so publicly, and let alone actually work on fixing them.<br /><br />As for convincing others - given enough time, the changes will become undeniable.
