Sometimes it does feel like we inherit a half-played game with a bad foundation but that just means we have to be more creative in how we make it all fit before the clock runs out.Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12737173880847541504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728752208519426846.post-65957087175185730372010-02-16T13:08:34.958-07:002010-02-16T13:08:34.958-07:00Kim, Thank you for this post.

I'm not going to make the mistakes my parents made and continue to make. One thing is for sure...life would be dull without opposition AND tetris. -JessRon and Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00035226546186681273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728752208519426846.post-33762081278908836552010-02-17T19:16:56.969-07:002010-02-17T19:16:56.969-07:00Quite lovely my darling.

We were both abused by our father growing up and are at very different places in our lives with it.<br><br>I've watched her struggle. I've watched her allow "abused" to be who she is as opposed to something someone did to her. I've watched her waste the talents and gifts she's been given and I've watched as she's only focused on the bad. It breaks my heart.<br><br>I did this myself for a while. I let "abused" be who I was and felt the pieces falling where they wanted. My foundation was shaky and unstable. I didn't care, I just didn't want to deal with it.<br><br>Things are better now. I do wonder at times what my life would be like if these trials hadn't been mine; if I'd grown up in a home where happiness was abundant and we were a loving and Eternal family. I wonder what it's like to love your father and be able to turn to him when you need advice, support or just someone to listen.<br><br>I like the tetris analogy. I used to say that growing up with abuse is like growing up to find that you have a ball and chain welded to your ankle. You have two choices; you can let it hold you back and let it rule you forever or you can pick it up, learn to "own" it and use it to help strengthen you until it's weight doesn't restrain you anymore. It makes you stronger.<br><br>I don't know why I was blessed with the desire to do that. I wish I could give the desire and strength to my sister because I do worry about her. I don't want her to give up and I don't want to lose her- in any way - to bad choices someone else made.<br><br>Thank you for sharing this Kim. Means the world.
