he doesn't give me homework generally... he knows i cant or wont... but this one i think is important and he seemed to think it was.

i have a lot of trouble standing my ground with H regardless... and in the face of violent verbal abuse (not physical) i am like a small child. i dont feel like i have any rights at all...much less the ones T has suggested.

So he said he figured i would allow quite a lot of rights to someone else.. someone in my situation.. so he said to write those down, as if i was applying them to someone else and not myself. He said to do it within my framework of denying myself any of these rights.

so... anyone can add to these if they want..

you have a right to:
* feel safe
* not be harmed physically
*be treated with respect
* not be screamed and yelled at
* not be belitted
*not be humilated
*not have to find ways to degrade yourself to appease another
*not be afraid in your own home
*wake up each day without a knot in your stomach
*take care of yourself
*grow and learn
*feel good about yourself
*not accept disrespect
*leave when you don't want to be there anymore
*be heard
*express your opinions without fear
*have your own thoughts
*feel secure
*feel in control of your own life
