Subject: many of us with similar stories Author: Dreemdanser [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:15:38 02/12/07 Mon In reply to: Angel 's message, "Re: ohhhh yeah...chocolate" on 23:22:42 02/09/07 Fri So, how do we sum up the culmination of our mutual experiences? "what have (we) learned....young grasshopper?" Speaking for myself, you can keep on loving someone while not continuing to place yourself in harm's way. Our actions don't have to be compliant or that of a victim to be actions of love. love doesn't equal "doormat" or "whipping post". Then of course, when you get right down to it you can't love anyone else if you don't love yourself. No matter if it is our romantic partner, child, parent, sibling, friend...we do no one a kindness when we allow them to misuse us or underappreciate us, least of all ourselves. There goes that balance thing again :) hugs, Dreemy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
