Just my 2 cents. Hope this is taken for the compliment it is!   |

Julielynn1990, aw, thank you! And I DO take that as a nice compliment!!
I sure have been through a LOT in life - through the wringer and back again. I try to learn the lessons, but apparently, once again, I did not learn the lesson of avoiding an abuser, since I got involved with yet another one. GRRRRRRRRRR.
But yes, I am more than just a label, and labels do annoy me.
And I find a lot of projection going on with other people projecting their own issues onto me and my situation. This is with Facebook abuse groups specifically where I am a member. Many women on these groups simply just project. It makes it very hard to stomach a lot of the times when you're being told this, that and the other about yourself and it's not even true!! Then you have to defend yourself or point out that they may be all projections. GRRRRRR.
