I saw a Twitter post last night that really stood out to me. I can't remember the exact wording of it, but the main idea was that you can't break someone if you mean nothing to them.
I think it is true.
If you mean nothing to them, your opinion of them isn't generally going to phase them. If you mean the world to them, then just one harsh, ill-chosen word can totally devastate them. Choose the 'right' wrong word, and they may never recover.
Think about it. What are your words really saying to those in your life?
The Emotionally Abused Woman : Overcoming Destructive Patterns and Reclaiming Yourself
Encouragements for the Emotionally Abused Woman: Wisdom and Hope for Women at Any Stage of Emotional Abuse Recovery
This blog will be for sharing whatever is on my mind at the moment. One day it might be about a book or a recipe that I have enjoyed-or didn't! Another day, it could be about hopes and dreams, family antics, or genealogy how-to ideas. It will be randomly random, as in some posts will be "this day of the week fun" and others will be just whatever is on my mind at the time. I look forward to your comments.
