I came upon shame naturally, I suppose. Before I was five I had experienced
*finding my father during a suicide attempt
*feeling responsible for the death of our puppies
*Hearing my mother take a beating from my beloved father that had been aimed at me
*being abandoned at a shopping mall
All of those lead me to believe that I was fundamentally wrong. That I should not exist.
As an adult I fell I to an open marriage and swinging.
It was years after my divorce before I started to attack my memories. Although I was determined to find a way through the pain it was agonizingly slow.
Today I consider myself healed from many of the things that I experienced .
In this blog I will go back and forth. Exploring the past and expressing how I got free.
Shame is agonizing, though some of it is good, natural. Otherwise, we would be sociopaths, able to manipulate others and only looking out for ourselves.
Today I live winning over shame.
