How do you fix..

[slowfingers1]

Years and years of abuse? How do you convince someone (or yourself) that the things people have said about them.. they are stupid, ugly, fat, worthless.. how do you convince them that it's not true? How do you give someone back their self worth, or help them to give it back to themselves?

How you say sweety? You do it with softness , gentle affirmation , kindness and love babe .. Patience is a key issue hear , concentrate on the positive things .. I have been abused for over 3 years physically and even while pregnant , I know it sucks , i am still a strong loving woman tho..it HURTS period but all you or anyone can really CHANGE is NOW and the future love , know that with me ,you ALWAYs have a listening , caring friend , ok babe?

I have a friend, a recent friend of mine, who has suffered greatly over tha last couple of years.......I know that I cannot make her forget, and I probably don't want her to forget.............but I do want her to see and truly understand that the future will be different........it took her a while to talk about it, but when she does, I listen long and hard, and cherish that time..........and then promise her that I will do all I can to see that she has the support that she needs in all those ways that I can provide........I guess the key is to trust in your true friends, and don't be afraid to lean on them.........they want you to lean................
