Dear lisa:

You don’t “come across as a nut”, not to me. You come across as very persistent. The child who made the decision to not be trapped in a relationship has kept her decision. She was a very strong willed girl who meant that promise that she made full heartedly and has persisted all these years in keeping her promise.

No man you meet can change that girl’s strong resolve. You can give a man all the information you have on your childhood and struggles, but he will not be able to change that little girl’s mind. Neither can I.

What is keeping her resolve so strong and lasting is her fear of re-experiencing what she experienced as a child, and it is her anger at her mother from taking the abuse for so long, for not making it stop, day after day, year after year.

I asked you before about that anger, do you remember it, are you still feeling it at times?
