I hate that I can't see polls in tapatalk, but seeing as this is relevant to me atm...

I have always seen needing others' protection and care as weakness. I always knew that I needed it, and as far as I was concerned, it was an inexcusable flaw that needed to be kept hidden at all costs. It's part of the reason I ended up in an abusive marriage - it made me feel strong in a way to be able to take the abuse, like I was paying my dues for my need for protection and care.

I am slowly accepting the idea that I am worthy of being protected and cared for (I mean, it's not like I don't do it for others!). It feels kinda nice...

Again, haven't seen the poll, so forgive me if I'm miles off. I just wanted to comment on this, for me. Thanks SD.
