if it works...how can it hurt?

i found this quote online by Marie-France Hirigoyen <u>
Stalking the Soul: Emotional Abuse and the Erosion of Identity</u>
"The only protective mechanism for child victims of emotional abuse is to cut themselves off from the situation; subsequently, their identity erodes, the deep core of their soul dies. Everything left over from childhood is perpetually reenacted as an adult."

i challenge you to learn to develop healthy boundaries, risk love, and strive for honesty in your relationships. learn as much as you can about what defines "emotional abuse."

i know how scary it is to work through the issues that have hurt our self-worth. the issues won't go away on their own, no matter how much you try to ignore them.

i found this website click here for: Abuse Signs. Visit Dr Irene's whole website it is really good and may give you on insight on how these issues could manifest in your other relationships. i hope to hear more from you. let me know what you think about the website. (((Huggs)))
