I am incredibly grateful for little ellie. I don't know how it she/I did it, but we took all that was dished out and came out of it more or less with my sanity intact.
That little me then did not have the luxury of an adult mind, or independence, or anything, but made it anyway.
I think she/me is a marvel.
In a real way, I owe her my life.

Thanks ellliemay - that is a challenge to how I have thought of her - I have always blamed her for everything, so in my head it has felt that as long as I keep my distance from her, then I will be OK.
So now I am thinking whether she did actually show strength to get through it all and I guess that means trying to change the way I think of those things as being not "her" fault - wow that is something to think through - I have always thought it was her fault.
Thank-you for giving me another way to think of it - Soup
