thank you, myzen. t is constantly amazed at my way on thinking on this. i think it has to do for the hurting/scared children inside. i will fight (and win) for them. in turn, it's a battle won on the whole.
i've realized in therapy, that it wasn't that little girl. it was a very sick man and woman who came together and wreaked their ill onto small children. the oldest child became like the parents...10 fold because he had no restraint.
do i love myself? i dunno. do i love those children? absolutely. i fight every day for what they tried to take away. i have learned to set boundaries so as to not be hurt anymore. so yes, i do think i care for myself in that i realize that i don't deserve to be mistreated any longer.
thank you.
