I am a 55yr,old mother of 2 grown children an 18yr.old son and a
wife,I`m married 19yrs,and on going.I have had a horrendous past of
traumas,and abuse.The choices I made in my relationships ended up
abusive in one way or another.How could I possibly choose a healthy
one.if I were not healthy myself?It almost cost me my life,even though
at times I didnt`want to be alive.I was so used to carrying pain
numbing myself,binging,purging,using a lot of other ways to
survive.After awhile I did`nt know what I was surviving from.It took a
lot of intensive therapy to uncover the whys I was the way I was and
recover from them.I carried a lot of baggage that needed to be sorted
threw,and let go of.It was then I discovered,that valuable
relationships in my life today involve
investment,time,effort,compromises,and self worth.I have something to
offer to them,and not take away.My whole attitude changed and so did
my heart.It amazes me out of doing hard work on my life of recovery
came a compassion Iv never known before,and wonderful people in my
life.The spirituality has given me a purpose,a future and a hope.And
thats what my relationships are.All my
love.......Bev....steppingstones Turning your past into
steppingstones,for a future and a hope.
