It takes work and time, but it can be done. (((HUGS))) I have found it helpful to find older friends, who are pretty together, especially ones who are raising their own kids. I learn from them. Therapy has also been a great help to recognize patterns and to figure out where in life certain patterns of thought took route. (I kept a journal during that time, which has been a great tool for me when I start to repeat some of the thinking. I go back over and relearn from myself.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29323881.post-13825047725730772932012-10-23T21:37:49.470-04:002012-10-23T21:37:49.470-04:00Coming from a similar childhood situation, I highl...Coming from a similar childhood situation, I highly recommend finding a therapist who does Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Over the course of a year & a half of therapy really helped my self worth, there will always be feelings of sadness about how my parents live, but my self worth isn't connected those memories now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29323881.post-31613460594799403222012-10-10T10:05:30.914-04:002012-10-10T10:05:30.914-04:00** I just tend to have melodramatic internal dialo...** I just tend to have melodramatic internal dialogues. :)**<br /><br />You and me both Joe! I swear when you wrote this you and I were on the same wave length. <br /><br />We both know we are BOTH worth SO SO SO much more, we just tend to let our "voices" tell us otherwise sometimes.

The saying that you should be careful what you tell your children because your words become their inner voice is so true. It's doubly true for how you treat your child and their idea of self-worth. <br /><br />I've taken second place to TV, cleaning in front of others (funny how they get so into it when they have an audience), work, and other families. It's important to remember that our parents are the ones that have the problems- not us. <br /><br />Own your accomplishments and be proud of yourself for all that you have done! We've proven that we are so much more than our past and deserve every great thing that we're presented with.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08097694304434516881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29323881.post-91442460776452651332012-10-02T15:21:32.115-04:002012-10-02T15:21:32.115-04:00I can so entirely relate to this post!

I feel crazy until I realize they are "the voices" that save me from actually saying some of this stuff out loud.<br />Evilisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05801521785609008415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29323881.post-61589100024756096982012-10-02T10:19:37.652-04:002012-10-02T10:19:37.652-04:00Thanks, Sidney!
