they way I understand it, we choose to get into and stay in bad relationships because it is what we know. that is what our "normal" is. so we recreate it.

I know I have.

and hey, don't you ever stop playing and dancing and having fun like a kid. especialy with your own kids. your H should join you, not stand around disapproving.

I always tell my baby girl, "don't grow up too fast! leave that stuff for later, and be a kid. because you spend most of your life as an adult. you've got plenty of time to be a grown up, but only a little time to be a kid. don't waste it!"

this was the first positive thing I found about being DID. it preserves that spirit of childhood inside you.

and I can't help crying when we do inner child exersizes. and when doing partswork with my young ones.
