TWO WOLVES
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
"One is Evil - It is: anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
"The other is Good - It is: joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied,
"The one you feed."

It takes strength to make changes in your life but you so can make things better. It does really sound like you are low and perhaps a chat to the doctor is a good idea. You are an important person and deserve to be happy but from experience sometimes.you need balls of steel to stand up for yourself and make a major change. Please do not think you deserve anything bad - that is a lie! Keep strong x x x
With you there jade .
Linda, no one deserves abusive behaviour and thinking that you do deserve it is a classic sign of a victim of abuse. Everything is believed by them to be their own fault. Are you aware that children who suffer abuse (of any kind, mental abuse as well) also believe it's their fault? What exactly could a child have done to warrant that kind of 'karma'? You absolutely do not deserve it. I think you've been on your own too long with no one in your corner.
