Family

I took a trip recently.  It was not an easy decision to do that but I did it any way.

This came out of that trip

 

family

 

I recently went to see family

 

People who birthed me

Raised me

Taught me

 

With whom I share genetics

Parents siblings

 

People who made me feel

Less than

So Wrong

 

From whom I distanced myself

To save myself

To save myself

 

I am saved

You/we are always more rather than less ... very well stated.

Thanks! I'm glad I was able to convey that feeling.

It's hard having to do such choices but it can be necessary. In the end what matter the most is that you made and created your own family with people you love, care about and trust and they do you back :hug:

Those choices are hard but necessary. Print thIs out and keep it in your wallet. There may come a day someone is judging you for the choice, and this will explain better than anything else.

This hit me kind of hard. Not because I had to distance myself to save myself, but I so know the feeling. My family has always looked at me as the odd one, the one they can't figure out. Luckily, they've supported me nonetheless. But I feel I don't really belong. I have friends who weren't so lucky... The pain they feel is devastating at times.

Your hubby and kids know and value your worth, Molly. In turn, they know you know their value and worth. Keep doing what you're doing. :) 

:hug:
