Belly dancing?

Hi everyone,
hope your all well and safe. I have decided to take a belly dancing class just for fun, something for me. I need to feel good about me again. I hate H with all my heart, but I don't want all that hate to consume me, and it's eating me away. I think that's another form of abuse.
I am hoping to make friends, can I tell you I miss having friends, around me. I know ivillage is there thankgod!!!
I want to like me again. Can I ever like me again? How can I feel pretty again? How can I forgive myself for all the abuse I let happen to me.

Have you read the Bancroft book? It can help you to realize that you didn't 'let' anything happen you. You were a victim that was agonizingly preyed upon.

Good for you for signing up for belly dancing. Fill your life with positive fun things and people. I find there are so many community activities that are free even that my dd's and I love to participate in. Bottom line it gets us out of the house and out meeting new people and doing new things.

I agree with you - I cannot wait to get the old me back. I really liked the person I was. It will take a while to get back there but I know I can do it. Every experience just makes you stronger.

(((((((hugs))))))))))
