tough love

I'm not sorry

I'm not sorry for giving you up!

I am sorry I was not given the tools to be a better mother.

I am sorry for all the pain and suffering you endured over the years. 

I'm not sorry for walking away, as I believe it would have been worse had I stayed!

I can not change the past.

I live in the present and look to the future.

Dwelling only prolongs the pain.

 

I'm not sorry for giving you tuff love.

Sometimes it's the only way to love.

I don't have all the answers,

I have my feelings, emotions and experiences!

I'm very happy that you were able to break the cycle,

able to raise your children.

I am sorry I was not able to be a part of your lives.

I'm sorry I missed out on so many memories.

I am not sorry I gave you life.

I regret not being able to care for my children! Addiction and mental illness can and does rob us of so much!

dear mommy,

 

dear dad,

 

i remember

 

what we had,

 

i know you couldn't afford

 

the bills and the pain,

 

for you had your own 

 

from the past

 

that did remain,

 

i appreciate

 

the decision you made,

 

i know it was hard

 

to leave me in that ward,

 

but now i'm well

 

it's over...the hell,

 

my new mom and dad

 

have loved me dearly,

 

i just want to say

 

i love you,

 

sincerely.

many children never live or get the care they need in america, and the choices parents are forced to make are extremely difficult and are made with love of the unconditional kind.

Woman, Trust Thyself

"But love don't exist when you live like this that much I know, yes I know "

-Bruno Mars-

 

Well, it's like I told healingwoman one day...

'trust' with what?

there are some men who expect a woman to violate

moral standards and place herself

and her very soul, heart, integrity, on the line for the sake of 'trust'...

Taking risks is not what men of value allow their true and loyal love to participte in.

Men of value are men who would never place love in harms way

or allow danger or even a chance of it to a true love's honor.

 

There are those women, much like you describe you want,

who do not bend for this type of 'trust' and why there are so few.

Men snatch them up like precious gems found on the shoreline...

to treasure as they should be treasured and cared for.  

 

My fiance' bought me a t shirt with the words...'a good girl is hard to find'..

.alas he was lucky, as he did not have to search for me, nor I for him.

We found each other through the the stars one night...

me at home on my computer...him in the darkest of dark places,

reaching out into the universe.

 He found a shining star in me, and I in him.      

 all one can say nowadays is

--- good luck.

Trust is not a toy. Trust is something that is to be safeguarded and not played with. Young girl, be-aware.
