I AM NOT STUPID

“…I got stronger. I grew in my understanding of the misuse of power and control. My self-esteem began to recover. I did not deserve that treatment from anyone. I am not stupid and I don’t have to allow people to treat me or to speak to me like I am stupid. The way they regarded me was about them, not about me. One of my fears was that they wouldn’t like me if I stood up to them but by their actions and regard for me, they already didn’t like me enough to respect me”. Darlene Ouimet

    In dealing with past hurts, when hurting words were spoken...I seem to realize what was said were often reflections of who uttered them, not necessarily true on my part. So true....only God sees our hearts...Take care JBR!
