You are totally right about forgiveness not meaning you have to leave yourself open to more mistreatment. I pray that others in your family might learn some of the lessons you did. That they can heal and become stronger, whole persons. And that there might be a day you can sit in peace and enjoy their company. <br /><br />You are welcome to reblog the post. I do appreciate your asking first. <br /><br />Barbara <br />Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-5435840148465283382015-09-07T10:00:51.675-05:002015-09-07T10:00:51.675-05:00I was raised in a dysfunctional and abusive family...I was raised in a dysfunctional and abusive family, and this realization DID change my life and free me! Once I realized that it was true, I tried shifting my behavior. After a couple of years, it became obvious that the only way to prevent the dysfunctional behaviors was to separate myself from my parents, and, to a lesser degree, two of my three siblings. <br /><br />Although I hold no animosity (so true what you said about forgiveness!), and wish that the situation could be different, I won't trade the peace I've found - within myself, and for my own family. Forgiveness doesn't mean we have to open ourselves to further abuses by those who've demonstrated that they feel wholly entitled to commit them.<br /><br />I would love to reblog this post, if you are willing...Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-59608186624313861652015-08-28T06:34:45.367-05:002015-08-28T06:34:45.367-05:00I'm glad you found it helpful.

As to your rude person, I've always admired the folks who know how to think fast on their feet and turn the rudeness around without actually being rude. Sort of politely putting them in their place.

A timely reminder for me just now as I have once again hosted a large gathering where a certain extended family member drives me to distraction with her rudeness! Since it is directed at me I do take it personally and want to lash out but I don't. "I'm better than that" I tell myself, and proceed to spend days trying to convince myself it's true..."Never again," I say, again. :-)<br />I loved your reply above, about a delightfully animal-filled day!diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-29200746019853995102015-08-22T10:36:31.120-05:002015-08-22T10:36:31.120-05:00I've had some animals cause me some great prob...I've had some animals cause me some great problems! A 500 lb hog out on the side of the highway I had to lead home by rattling corn in a bucket before I could go to work. Way back, our Doberman got mad she was left home and had a field day with my rack full of potted plants. We came home to a dining room floor covered in an inch of potting soil! I've stopped at the store to get gas only to hear, MEOW, when I walked past my hood. Two kittens were hitching a ride under there! Had to dig them out and take them home.

Isn't it amazing how it's always people that really screw up our days, never morning, the environment, that bird flying so high up or God? It's always people.
