My parents tried to do that, too, but it did not work, perhaps because there were so many of us. The 8-pack was, well, the 8-pack. We knew we belonged together.<br /><br />I have so enjoyed getting to know you this year, and I am so proud of the progress you have made on so many fronts. Thank you for letting me a small part of your life. (I did get your note re Gentle Recovery and will get to it really soon.)<br /><br />Much love and the best wishes for a wonderful 2010!Elizabeth Mahlouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334700057953625321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042784599292125679.post-43345764076144592102010-01-03T18:53:55.062-05:002010-01-03T18:53:55.062-05:00What a beautiful speech.

My sister and I were somewhat distant through the years... she being the "wild one" for years and years while I was the "good little mommy", or so that is how she felt. Our relationship is better as well, and I am happy to have her companionship and her love. <br /><br />Happy New Year, Sarah..

My statement that sexual abuse doesnt happen in a stable functional family got pushed away. I had a hard time to accept that for my siblings I am an unfortunate outsider and they lived in a happy family (sigh)however I can relate ever so much that I thought the way I was treated was normal. I felt insecure visiting friends which I had at least for a while - insecure because the athmosphere was so different. The warm, calm and cheerful togetherness in families made me insecure and highly confused. I am gald I am permitted to travel your road with you.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241317042459836045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042784599292125679.post-10985504558082730712010-01-01T22:49:49.409-05:002010-01-01T22:49:49.409-05:00I am glad you have her.

It's a tough thing to think about when you know that it wasn't possible for you to do as a kid, and even as an adult, harder to do because of how we learned to cope. Accepting help became near impossible for her because of how she dealt with her abuse. I'm so glad that you and your sister are recreating that bond that was taken from you.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952500756645034418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042784599292125679.post-46640666120783426502010-01-01T17:52:37.365-05:002010-01-01T17:52:37.365-05:00How like God to bring your sister and you together...How like God to bring your sister and you together in spite of the hurt and the pain of your growing up years.<br /><br />To use her in your healing process.<br /><br />And to use you in hers.<br /><br />Hope that both of you have God's peace and protection and perspective this coming year.<br /><br />Sweet dreams.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614103795909160503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042784599292125679.post-66780592811124678242010-01-01T16:46:05.767-05:002010-01-01T16:46:05.767-05:00I think I might need to read your sister's boo...I think I might need to read your sister's book too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482664195209326414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042784599292125679.post-42925895574638895312010-01-01T16:26:54.126-05:002010-01-01T16:26:54.126-05:00Yes Sarah your sister is right you are an inspirat...Yes Sarah your sister is right you are an inspiration. She's a lovely sis to have, I wish I had siblings who cares. I have a brother who treats my parents and I like we do not exist. But it's ok, we have each other plus my boy and that's important.

...Sweet Sarah, I always wished I had a sister.....<br /><br />What a beautiful story despite the pain. It is wonderful how God had you reconnect with your sister and how she has helped you in your healing process. How she confirmed what you only guessed!<br /><br />I see similarities with you two and me. Although I am not an impulsive buyer, I do not care how much the item is, I will buy it if I need it or want it. I eat way too much if I am unhappy. Then I am as analytical as you, and very cautious also in trusting people. Love doing sports. <br /><br />It is neat that you both consider each other a miracle and inspiration! <br /><br />Such an encouragement to see the growth in you!<br /><br />Much hugs to you dear one, and thank you for always being transparent.Just Be Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815210059310140144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042784599292125679.post-70048917444584624882010-01-01T14:24:09.225-05:002010-01-01T14:24:09.225-05:00This is beautiful.

I never think I am good enough, etc. I appear happy, but on the inside there is deep pain. GOD has brought me a LONG WAY in my journey, but I still struggle. I am truly a work in progress.<br />Blessings, hugs, and prayers,<br />andreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082891172963869545noreply@blogger.com
