Hi @A MyDepressionTeam Member! The media helps us be aware of this more than is necessary. I am capable of picking up on the vibes of others especially the bad. The difference now is I don't give those negative people a chance, I choose to steer clear of the people who hit me as bad for me instead of giving them a second chance,
I think someone gave me a prayer, it may have been you, I didn't write down the name of it, so I will read it and see if it speaks to me.
I don't even have the energy to deal with those bullies, I just ignore them, thinking that what they are saying is not for me, I don't want it, and I won't take it. Too old to let that crap get to me, life is for living, the way you want to!

I lived this way for 8 years. One time my self esteem was so low I was really hanging my head and I actually got a Knick in my neck like that . I had to go to the chiropracter to fix it!!! All because of a control freak and what I ALLOWED myself to believe. It’s a hard deal with especially When your down on yourself!! Self love has to be maintained somehow!!💞 positive vibes sent your way!!!
@A MyDepressionTeam Member, I can understand why you didn't leave, my Mom told me that she couldn't take living with our Dad anymore, I talked divorce and child support, she said that she loved him, did not know where she would go, with 5 kids. It is not too late for you to call a shelter hotline, they take you to a safe home, where others, some with kids, are staying until their divorce goes through, and they can make a new life for themselves. You would get maintenance from him, as well as other monies, to give you a good start. The home people help you with finding a lawyer, protection papers, if he's physically abusive, They help you so much, they even help you get a job.
My arms are around you, let me know how you're doing, ok?

Oh, boy, that's a loaded question!! Do what you can, tell them that they should be glad that you're making an effort, noone is perfect. Tell them that, until they can walk in your shoes, not to judge. Tell them that you won't judge them, either, as you wouldn't want to be in THEIR shoes. You deserve respect, and then you will respect them, it's a two way street.
Good luck.
Mary
