Invalidation. Words Can Hurt!
purpletintedcrystal replied to Vera's topic in Public: Pretty Good Year
A little bit of validation coming here - I remember one night I was crying to a friend on the phone and just going, 'I promise, I promise I didn't want it, I promise, I didn't want it to happen.'

What Did You Do For You Today?

I was going to get out of the house today but now I'm just so low. Must be PMS. Well, I made up a rules sheet in this house and start it to the wall where everyone could see. My house needed that. So at least I accomplished something. -
Thank you for such a warm welcome everyone

I guess I should come say hello. I'm a bit scared about it all, but it's a step. So hi !
