I certainly took on a negative personality. Influenced by my abuse & the area I lived in as a child.

I use to believe we stayed who we were. That who we areis something out of our control. That unless it fit the 'profile' I had come to strongly identify with then it couldn't belong to me.

I read about re-parenting in therapy. But I think it's just a place where we get to redifine our personality.

No wonder this can take yrs. imagine all the day by days we took things in and fitted ourselves to them.

I realise I'm so busy sticking to who I think I am, that I don't take the time to really see who I am.
