I think it is very important you consider your positive in all this troubled history. Yes, you were and are very challenged. And you have certainly dealt with your fair share of some very troubled people in your life. But inspite of all of that the Lynn P that I have come to know has such an amazing way to help others deal with all their issues.
You have been unbelievably supportive, a constant sound of reason to so many here.
You often come across as such an incredible rock of logic, even in some troubling experiences you have come across in PC.

I think that your daughters are EXTREMELY lucky to have you as their mother. And you also have been a sort of Mother to many members here at PC. And the one thing you must remember is that you are not alone in being a good person who struggles to understand WHY people are so harmful and disrespectful of others. Unfortuanatly for good people it is very hard to truely understand how others don't appreciate or respect you for all your wise and respectful persona.

The garden tool habit well, it is one method of attacking weeds that interfere with your private garden which is those two little precious flowers you tend and call your daughters.

Make sure that you take some private time and give some consideration of the fact that even though you DO have an unfortunate list, you have still kept your wonderful, intelligent, caring, consciencious, nurturing, strong, incredibly patient, supportive, offering sound advice, persona. You truely must never forget how well you maintained that very good soul inspite of that list. That is SUCH AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT ALL ON ITS OWN Lynn. When you take a time out and quietly remind yourself to RISE ABOVE always remember that you have done that so well so many times in your past as well. It is very easy to let anger take away that power, so by remembering how much you have been such a good and strong person, you will present the positive you need to truely RISE ABOVE as you so deserve.

I want to make sure that I support you the way you truely deserve to recieve support. By telling you how I have come to know you and respect you for your incredible strengths it is to remind you that your strong persona is recognized and appreciated and respected.
