I have been wounded...and healed...



60 years and counting! I have lived a very colorful life that included so many painful experiences caused by the people closest to_ my heart. I belong to_ a dysfunctional, almost apathetic broken family torn apart when I was six years old. Growing up, I perceived love way differently compared to_ most normal people. And yet, I chose to love my own way, that is deprived of reciprocity. I have loved with all my might, I have shared with all I had. But despite and inspite of that, I lacked appreciation, acknowledgement, and emotional return. When you give your all, you become empty...exhausted, and most of the time, you long for that much needed refill or recharge, not knowing where it will come from....But, God provided what I lacked, even though the sources came from people not blood related. I am still very much blessed....I am healed.

The scars will remain, but thankfully, they made me the strong woman that I am today....

that's what women are made of-strong power, resilience and ready adjustment to circumstances, difficult to face and handle..it takes great perseverance to have all obstacles surmounted that is true, but help is there not only from among friends but from the one above you..sometimes your blood relatives will not be there, but those closest to you and your heart...

And that is very true...The sources of our strength emanates from different sources other than our own kin. We are never alone..We just have to open up...I am more than lucky...I am truly blessed with support people like you...

I thought we were supposed to love unconditionally, not expecting any return?

I know now that is bs, we are meant to love and be loved. Yes you are blessed and being healed is another blessing.

My mom is currently mourning for the loss of her companion dog and her dad . Although I can afford to have my new place, I still live with my mother. Aside from her doctor, I am the only one she can count on. My aunts, uncles, and my cousins never show sympathy so I can't blame her for disconnecting from them. I showed her your post and I saw a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Thank you.


Once in a while, someone comes along to put you on top of the world.

Good to know that, Elz. I truly believe women are far stronger than men .

Chester, I feel your mom and I feel you. I have a very dysfunctional biological family, but life goes on, and I am grateful that I have other people who fills in that space in my life. They gave me love I do not get from my family...Take care as well...Regards to your Mom
