Stupid and bad (trigger)

Stupid and bad (trigger)
God, I read this today and it made me remember everything my abuser and my emotionally distant father would say to me to hurt me or gain control.

Lies, all lies, SP.

I really hope you're doing better. Don't believe the hype. It's what they wanted you to believe about yourself.

HI, guys. This thread really hits me between the eyes, it's where I've lived.
What I was told is that I would never amount to anything...still hurts, some. I guess in some sense I didn't disappoint him in that. But, I've got a better spouse than my dad had. I have better kids than his were. I didn't move muy family all over the country like he did. I've got more money to retire on than he had. I'm a better friend than he was. I'm a better husband tha he was, and I know that I'm a better FATHER that he was. Geez, dad, you LOSE, I WIN.

Message to my brothers: don't wait as long as I have to say those things to yourselves, about the person who told you that you didn't count. Start telling yourselves right now!!!!!!!!!!
 
Ivanhoe you hit it right on the head. I could not say it better. In addition we overcame more so we are stronger too.

And welcome to the world of mods.
 
SP,

You're a better person than EVERYONE who abused you will EVER be.

You are STRONGER that they EVER will be.

You are more LOVED than they will EVER be.

My father made me feel like garbage when I was a kid, and I sold out my dignity and self-esteem for what I thought was love. But I am BETTER than they will EVER be.

And you are BETTER than they will EVER be.

SP, I love you. We all love you. Because you are ao much more than your worst acts.

I love you, brother. Be at peace.

Scot
