Dear Anita
Your wise words opened my eyes. You were right, they will not hear me, not even in millions years.
I felt bad at first when I thought about ignoring them completely, I felt guilty and thought that maybe the problem is in me, maybe I exaggerated but now I don’t feel that anymore. I feel it is the right thing to do for me because day by day I feel better and happier. Unfortunately they are a source of danger and sadness to me and they are the ones I need to protect myself from, not the rest of the world.
My mother thinks that I deserved everything I received and the fact that she received it from her own mother is a good enough excuse for me to receive all of those words they once said to me.
I am not sad anymore Anita, neither I feel miserable, I feel happier because I take care of myself, not only from the outside but also from the inside. I feel happier knowing that no more of these nasty words and looks are coming my way from people I love.
