Remember that "family" is the title that we use to describe our physical collection of important beings here on earth. Spiritually, our connection is so much deeper and more meaningful. I am so grateful to be able to call you family in both regards! What a wonderful, thoughtful article...keep up the good work with the obvious talent you have been blessed with.

I took your place, innocently, believing all the words and smiles as they made me believe what a wonderful place it would be. Your words comfort me. To know you've experienced the same things I do, daily, makes me know I'm not losing my mind. However, it is so difficult to return day after day and not know what I'll be faced with. Even if her mood is good, her words kind, I know that soon the spiteful, evil side will return to rip me apart. This is no different than being in the abusive marriage I was once in. Smiles, kind words one day ("It's okay, it will take you time to learn"); snarls, degrading comments the next ("What's wrong with you? Explain why you did it this way!"). Yes, the life has been sucked out of me too, and I've lived with it too long--since about two weeks after I began there. I've hung on too long and now am desperately trying to find my way out. My self-confidence is starting to return; hopefully I can project the competent, intelligent,hard-working woman I am and make an exit quickly. I am now where you were.
