I sit here in wonder of you.
You were wise, brave and strong.
Kept going when many would have caved.
That’s resilience
That’s strength.
No one was coming to save you,
So you saved yourself.

How clever you were
To play the game for so long;
Keep him sweet,
Toe the line,
Only speak when spoken to.
Cajole him,
To keep her safe.
Control her,
To not trigger him.
Surviving was hard,
No one would have known,
Your smiling face hid it all.

I now see that innocent face,
Just as it was.
I see the hurt and fear
In those green eyes.
Say goodbye to that hurt,
That fear,
I am here now
To love and keep you warm.
Those nights were dark and endless.
It’s time to walk into the light,
Hand in hand,
I have you.

You are finally safe,
You are finally home.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Finally have all 3 of the self-help books I ordered, I've started reading all of them, decided today I'm going to create my safe place (The Inner Child Workbook), husband is going to help me too. We don't have a lot of space so I'm going to be making it in our greenhouse, which is empty right now, but will be even nicer in the spring when its full of plants. I'm a little excited to start on this work, but also a little apprehensive about it.

I've already been trying to take a deep breath when I start to feel anxious and remind myself that when somebody is yelling they arent yelling at me, and I don't have to take it so personally.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing alright, all of you are always in my thoughts. Thank you everyone!
