quote: Originally posted by T: Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.Harvey Fierstein “There is a fine line between compassion and a victim mentality. Compassion though is a healing force and comes from a place of kindness towards yourself. Playing the victim is a toxic waste of time that not only repels other people, but also robs the victim of ever knowing true happiness.” ― Bronnie Ware
Those are excellent quote, T. I am finally seeing my way out of a victim mentality. It took a personal journey that had to be on my own timetable, as one has entrenched thinking when one goes through abuse. It is survival mode thinking.

"You don't know peace, til you've had suffering." -Mushroomhead “In those days, everyone had a piano in their living room. I taught myself how to play by ear. No formal training of any kind. It was something I learned because I wanted to learn, not because I had my knuckles rapped.” -Anton Lavey

Thanks, T. It has been a long time coming and I could never have gotten here without LL.
That is why I am such a ferocious proponent of new people letting it all hang out. You can't be fake and have true change. You have to show your rear end, so to speak. You have to have people love and support the WORST you before you can find the best you.
