Good for you...that is powerful...in that one blog besides coming to terms with yourself, you have also set the wheels in forward motion to end the cycle, which to me is HUGE...one thing I have gained in this forum, is abuse is so much bigger than any one of us...forgiveness, the power you have gained back, the strength you have derived is also a testament to your ability to control your future ..and put into perpective your thoughts of your past...High Five...

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share with you a blog that I posted on my myspace.  Tell me what you guys think.

"A letter to the men in my life who hurt me 
Current mood:  rejuvenated

This is a letter to all the men in my life who have hurt me physically, emotionally, or mentally.

I forgive you.  What each and every one of you did was completely horrible, but I can't go on with the rest of my life allowing you to have that power over me.  Its not healthy for me, and, basically, its ridiculous.  You are all powerless little boys.  Its done.  I hate what you did to me, but it happened, and instead of letting you ruin my life, I am taking control of my life back.

I'm going to get over the trust issues I have because not all men are like you.  There are men out there who charish women and realize that they are amazing people and not cheap toys meant to be thrown away.

I am moving on.  This chapter is closed.  Instead of looking at this like it completely ruined my life, I'm going to take it as an opportunity to be thankful for my life, not because of what you did, but because I have it so well compared to some other people out there, and I'm going to help other people who have been hurt in the same way I have.

The tears I am crying are tears of joy.  I've finally found the courage I need."
