Dear Anita,

I understand about the numbers thing – it was only a few weeks ago in my pit of dire despair that I was frantically googling every number sequence I came upon!! It was pretty crazy. I feel better now having a direction and a Plan Of Action to work towards 🙂 I won’t speak of numbers again, I understand.

Wow, it does sound like we have had very similar experiences… Random question, but did your experiences growing up happen to affect your memory at all?! I ask because, I think I blocked so much of my childhood out, that now I do find it difficult to remember things…It’s weird. Have you heard of the term gaslighting as well? My parents did that to me a lot, and I think that’s why growing up I’ve had a lot of difficulties with judgement of character/ trust etc.

How is life for you now? Are you currently leading a life that you love?

I’m surrounding myself with my sister and supportive girl friends. I am very cautious now of other people and their intentions, and I am trying to follow your third option – thoughtfully choosing who I spend time with and how. It’s a skill for sure: I know too many women who put so much focus and attention on to guys who don’t deserve it 🙁 Ah well, all I can focus on is taking control of my life.
