Anton....I am going through the same thing here in NH. I really dislike winter (won&#039;t say hate) and have also started running first thing in the morning instead of my usual noontime runs. It is so much more peaceful and the air is cleaner and crisper.Best of luck in the coming year,Steve]]></description>

Thanks so much for your comments.  Here&#8217;s a few energy word vibrations to change this&#8230;* What are you resisting or refusing to create separation?* What barriers, walls and limitations have you put up that you now can drop?* What energy can you be to totally receive others including their crazy points of views and judgments?With Love &#8211; Jeneth]]></description>

Hi Sylvia,
Every word you wrote is exactly how I feel.  I say these things all the time.  I look around and see others with total acceptance without even trying,  by others and family.  Then I see myself who is almost invisible except when I am needed or used as a scapegoat.  It is like I do not have any rights at all as a human being.  I was stripped of these rights long ago and it just repeated in my personal life.  It feels impossible to break out of the role.  I finally went no contact with my abusive family but it feels too late as I am exhausted now with my job as teacher and mother of a 12 year old girl. Both roles where I give all my energy away.   I give too much and take in too much.  I am wearing down.  It is so hard to keep going.  So tired.]]></description>

I pray you find peace and healing, Jimbo.  You have to face pain to get to healing, but it&#039;s closer than you might think.  It&#039;s never too late.  I would go through all of this, just to know true peace  and love for one day before I died.  It is so worth it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[i sure understand and can relate, when i was a kid about the same as you, but i married a woman that was an expert at looking good and turning my kids against me, i turned into a drunk  (still am)and that just helped me accept the blame, it was easier to accept the blame then think my parents and wife really didn&#039;t care. i am 75 now , and have never been happy, and always felt everything wrong in the world was my doing. but in process now of severing ties with the family. i am feeling guilty about it, and i know i have to quit drinking now, that has always been a problem, but it was the only place i could hide where i didn&#039;t feel bad about myself and felt normal. i quit once for 20 years, but went back because i didn&#039;t want to accept the truth of what my real problem was, i knew it my wife but couldn&#039;t accept fact she was who she was, i wanted to beleive she cared,  she is a stealth narc. fits the description perfectly.]]></description>
