Here was my response.."As far as your question, (I'm throwing it all out there, so I don't think anything is too personal) I have forgiven both of them because I realize they are not evil, only their actions, and we both know where the ugly comes from. I pray they will see the light, but in the meantime I am walking a path apart from theirs."<br />Thank you again for reading and commenting.<br />BlessingsDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339405331797773251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377817180313445069.post-14830012227786856112011-05-13T21:47:02.302-07:002011-05-13T21:47:02.302-07:00I thought I asked you a question on this post but ...I thought I asked you a question on this post but maybe I did not. If it is not prying I wanted to know if you have a relationship with your dad and brother now? I was physically abused by my mom and while I forgive her, I can not trust her around my daughter. My mom has mental issues and is not stable as well as being over dramatic so I keep at bay just to have peace in my life. Also, I am reading a memoir by a published author, Sue William Silverman,of shewrites, who was sexually abused by her father. It was so disheartening and I can't imagine the pain one must feel.MiMi Atkinshttp://www.mimiatkins.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377817180313445069.post-16447576826758963962011-05-13T21:43:08.030-07:002011-05-13T21:43:08.030-07:00I thought I asked you a question on this post, but...I thought I asked you a question on this post, but do you have a relationship with your dad and brother now?

It can be such a comfortable yoke - so familiar in its pain. But once you find the exit, once you realise that this voice is alien and not your own... then you can take flight. And that's what you are doing.

It was incredibly fulfilling and life changing to finally meet the real Denise.

They always brighten my page and put a smile on my face.<br /><br />Bella, the reasons why some people choose to go through life unnoticed are heartbreaking. I hope your friend realizes how loved she is very soon, then she can truly start to live.<br /><br />Elizabeth, your post had perfect timing as I sat here wondering how much good these blogs are truly doing. Helping one person means just as much as helping many. I know how difficult it is difficult not to lash out at those who are being rude, but in the end, love always wins. We all truly do need each other, thank you for the reminder.<br />BlessingsDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339405331797773251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377817180313445069.post-7274913329255398492011-05-03T10:01:49.315-07:002011-05-03T10:01:49.315-07:00Thank you very much DeeLynn.

Thank you for showing me a higher way - the Lord really spoke to me through you, so rejoice! We really need each other don't we?

I especially liked when you said,"The deeper we dig inside, the harder it is to come back out." I wonder how many people walk around, hiding their fears, angst, and worries behind their appearance. I know this to be true of an acquaintance who feels that because she is overweight, she doesn't want to draw attention to herself. As a result, she doesn't spend any time or effort in her appearance--her way of telling people, "Don't look at me!"Bellahttp://gypsyroxylee.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377817180313445069.post-72189293784494902272011-05-03T08:09:12.455-07:002011-05-03T08:09:12.455-07:00What a wonderful post...you have a strong voice to...What a wonderful post...you have a strong voice to hurting women...I believe you will help many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
