I am making progress. I am learning to take care of myself and not to feel so guilty about choosing what is good for me and saying No to others. I was so worried last week when I chose to not join the rest of the family on father;s day because I am tired of playing games with him and allowing him to verbally abuse me and blame me for his unhappiness. When I told my T I chose not to go my T smiled asked me how I felt and validated that I made the right choice for me. What a relief I was so worried my T would think I was wrong for not honoring my father. I think this is the first time someone has said to me it is okay to make the choice you made and ultimately it is how I feel not that I am letting down others in my life. I feel that I don't beat myself up so much for who I am and that is a good thing. I actually feel more positve about me than I do negative. I realize there may be times I go back a few steps but I know I can go forward. Finally I feel I am making some progress. YEah! My T is so great!
