(((Rose))),

Just make sure you don't put yourself mentally into that victim mode. You have to make sure you are not doing this to "give in" and "serve'. All you are doing is managing things while you get yourself together and make a plan for "you". This is not at all about "giving in" make sure you know that Rose, this is more about seeing what you are dealing with and empowering yourself to move away from it all. That is the goal here. You are better than this atmosphere, and in order for you to grow tall and blossom you have to work on getting away from the weeds, that "is all" .

This is as though you got bit by a snake, and it poisened you. Well, you have now learned about this kind of snake and how to repect it so you don't get bitten again.
It isn't about allowing the snake to keep biting you, it is about learning how to live in a world with these kinds of snakes and that is all. You are certainly smart enough to learn from this Rose. So, make sure you don't tell yourself anything differently.

You are "not" giving in at all Rose, you are simply doing what you need to in order to get Rose "out of the snake pit" thats all. Soooo, ya gotta be a bit of a snake charmer darling. Just a more of "I have now learned" to add to your survival list.

Also Rose, I made more money and built up more business in my 40's then at any time in my life. And I had to really learn about these poisenous snakes many times myself. So if I can do it so can you, cause you have more education and are smarter than me, so I know you can do it.

And we are here for you Rose, you can talk to us whenever you need to talk. And you have quite a few good friends here at PC that are ready to validate you and keep supporting you whenever you need us.
We are here.....
