*hugs Wanders and cries on her shoulder for being so kind to me* Thank you. I know that you are right, and I hope that one day I can give myself a break, if only to model something better for the Things. I used to have people close to me say things like, "[Red], how could you have gotten into that situation? Smart girls don't get into messes like that." Or, "I thought you had more sense than that - what were you thinking?" Or even, "[Red], that could never have happened like you said. Are you sure you're not just in denial or remembering things wrong?" Over and over again, things that I have experienced have been negated, my feelings modified to be a little more acceptable to other people, and I've been the first one in line to make sure that happens. Never disappoint anyone... don't let them down. If I did, I was flamed for it, and at times, still am, most of all by me. It's a little "Stockholm-ish," I know, and one day, I hope I can get over that. *warm hugs to all of you who have stood by me when I'm on or off my game*
