Hey ((Garfy)),
I am sorry I am so slow in responding...but I am sorry you were having such a hard day as well. I hope that tomorrow the sun shines brighter for you. I know that many of us struggled a bit after reaching that 3 month mark. And while I know you have done so much work to get past your XAP and his narcissistic tendencies, you just have to keep pushing to understand why it is they still bother you. I wish I had an answer for you.

Thanks for the song, this one has been mentioned here before and does send a powerful message. But are you sure you got the lyrics right?...or did she? LOL sorry just couldn't resist.

Sending you strength and releasing vibes this night
Much love my friend
peace&light

Thanks TU,
Add me to that list who continue to Love you. you are an AMAZINGLY strong woman...in spite of your own best efforts ;)

Thank you for the beautiful song...Peter Gabriel is one of my favorites. Your message is a strong one, especially for those with ones that have little toes and little noses.

Though where do you find that reflection when you have hurt& alienated anyone close enough to provide such a look at ourselves?

I am glad you are loved in such a way. I have given up on predictability. Maybe its becuase of my scientist background...or because of the crazy totally unpredictable events of the last year. The only thing predictible...is that I have no cue what is coming next.

Much love and big Hugs to you. Forward I shall terry...
peace&light

Hey Lolly,
i am glad you enjoyed the Bruce. He has a great way of uplifting. Thanks for the song, you turned me on to an artist I have never heard from. However, I am not sure I agree with the sentamant....especailly from you. You always seem to have love to give. Don't let any stupid emails from your XAP take that away from you... or better yet take that away from us!

Sending you strong LC vibes...
Peace&light

Hey Iggy!
Its been a while, but I am glad to see you back, and fully commited this time. I am glad that the song could help you today. It is always a risk with this thread that I might choose a song that could actually act as a trigger for someone. That would make me feel horrible, so I am glad when the song I share can help brighten anyone's mood.

Hugs back to you...Thanks for the kind words
peace&light

Jen,
You are welcome. Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry that you had a painful trigger over the weekend. I still am hunted by the idea that I will never be able to forgive myself. Where that leads me I am still unsure. I know the moments will pass, and get further and further apart. I am not sure if 100% is ever obtainable. But yes, I look forward to the time when I can look back a year and be proud of each decision I made the year before. Thank you for your admiration, it is more than mutual my friend.
Sending you strong vibes and continued strength this night
peace&light

Dear Kat,
thank you for your comments and welcome to EAS. I have not officially welcomed you yet, but have followed your story since your arrival and I am proud of the progress you are making, and your contributions here have been wonderful.
I hope I did not burst your bubble on an image of me :) Believe me, it is hard for me to imagine how I got myself into such a mess as well. Especially while I stand here with very little in the aftermath to hold onto. I will just say that I have worked hard to gain the wisdom and composure that I try and give back around here. As for the compassion...that is in my nature and certainly one of the things that helped lead me into the mess.

Thank you for the well wishes...I wish the same for you, and know with your strength and determination you will achieve them.

Peace&light

I hear you on predictable ... for me it means, that while the texture of the Love may shift - it will remain a presence. A steady presence ... where I can root trust and security. The love for my children is predictable - it is not contingent. It is within that context where they can feel safe to grow and Be.

Much Care,

TU.
