Trying to live life the way we were meant to, apart from all the pain, is a hard journey but definitly worth it. <br />Thanks for coming by my blog and sharing.

My past was different from your, but in my adult life I have felt those very same feelings. I felt unbalanced and while I don't like to be alone - letting people in has got me hurt in the past. Just allow God to show you how to be. It is only HE that can fix, heal, and mend what was broken in you so long ago. Feeling hurts and the pain can be so bad that you don't know where or how to even process it. However, just know that feeling leads to healing and from that to renewal and restoration. It takes time, but hang in there, hold on to God's perfect love and in the end you will see that what he has for you will be something that can glorify him and help that greater good of man! I will keep you in my prayers!

And in order for us to be helped by others <br />and to be helpful to others, we need to practice honesty. That means we must <br />learn how to talk to each other about our thoughts and our feelings and our <br />needs.

Thanks for sharing. Healing is indeed hard, change is hard. We get so used to having the pain in our lives that we think it belongs to us, think it is a part of us. But it isn't. It is an addition, an appendage that we carry around. It serves a purpose for a little while, in a way it helps us grow. But then, it gets old and smelly and rotting and we have to cut it out, like a cancer.

I still struggle with this as I want to be strong and invulnerable, or at least appear that way. I can also relate to the transformation from playfulness to introvert. It happened to me around the 5th grade, I'm still not sure what caused it. The feelings can get overwhelming but I believe you will adjust. Take care! *hugs* <3IKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596027732247383510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-88990928072806664152010-01-16T23:19:53.413-05:002010-01-16T23:19:53.413-05:00I don't know if i did my did my daughter any g...I don't know if i did my did my daughter any good my staying with him, i know it didn't do me any good just wasted my life of want could been, my husband was good to my daughter just not to meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-81664597245913579732010-01-16T22:48:48.857-05:002010-01-16T22:48:48.857-05:00Stay the coursel You are in good hands....God'...Stay the coursel You are in good hands....God's.Sandra Wilkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640562716913535824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-46947053043667219362010-01-16T22:47:35.655-05:002010-01-16T22:47:35.655-05:00the most REAL part of our journey is often our pai...the most REAL part of our journey is often our pain!

You are helping so many others with putting your feelings out there. Many are connecting to your pain and your steps forward through it all.<br /><br />The void earthly fathers leave when they don't take the time to be with and love their daughters makes for such a huge hole in the heart. Then add to that drinking and porno and the hole gets bigger. But by golly, you are filling that hole with letting yourself relive the pain so you can overcome and fill up that hole with your heavenly Father's love and adoration for YOU. YOU ARE HIS DELIGHT!!!! HE HAS GREAT PLANS FOR YOU... and I cannot wait to see what those plans are.

My parents were the best parents, but what happened to me was that I had a lot of werid friends growing up and as my self esteem got lower and lower, my friends got werider and weirder. At eleven years old one of my friends got me drunk. Another hit me. Then just before I was diagnosed with my mental illness, I was raped. It's hard when your pain is from another person because you can't control what the other person does! I will pray for you.<br />Peace,<br />AmandaMandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388649891410858782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-72282124408634908232010-01-16T17:47:16.416-05:002010-01-16T17:47:16.416-05:00I've been crying my eyes out reading this post...I've been crying my eyes out reading this post and the one before it about yoru mother.
