My T. is teaching me to 'hear' what I am saying to myself inside and to look at it rationally. Would I ever say such things to MY kids. No way! I didn't even realize the things I'd say to myself. I remember in high school reading some of my journal that I'd written and being so shocked at how much and how bad it was, I burned it, I wanted to completely destroy the evil. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hated myself. Worse than sh*t. There are no words to describe the intensity of my self loathing. It was bad. Now I don't hate myself mostly. I do stupid things with fair regularity, but so does everyone else. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, I love that saying. I know I have goodness and caring inside me. I expect you have too. We are as good as some and better than plenty, thats for sure. At least we are trying. Dunno if thats of any use to you.
