It took a lot of self-coaching to make me confident in myself in the face of the abuse.

I know reliving the pain is not pleasant, not by miles, but it is an opportunity for you to grow and change. Now you know you are carrying this, you can begin to heal it. You can heal it, and you don't have to forgive to heal it. You do have eventually to let go of any hatred though as this only sours you.<BR/>It wasn't your fault. perhaps thi sjolt will enable to look at your family of origin and deal with the pain from that. You'sd be amazed at 1. how you are affected and 2. how free you can be once you can work thru it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864658805462324550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-1140357384372757262006-02-19T13:56:00.000+00:002006-02-19T13:56:00.000+00:00Hi ColinI came to this site from a link on my knit...Hi Colin<BR/><BR/>I came to this site from a link on my knitting machine group -- just wanted to check out your handiwork, and instead was stopped dead by the headline "How It Was Done". It send me spinning back to being 11 years old and my older brother treating my younger (who was 3 at the time) in exactly this manner. And it went on for years, until we each left home, at too early an age. I still carry the burden of not being able to help my little brother -- and not being able to help myself in the process either. The elder brother was equally abusive with me. You stopped me dead in my tracks this morning, and I don't know what to do with this pain, I thought I had gotten over it. Thank you for posting this on your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
