Do you think strong willed people wonder what it is like on the other end? What is it that inspires that in others? In some ways, it is a recognition of your strength that comes through in this post the most. Thanks for your answer and will keep my fingers crossed, too.Happy Hour...Somewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006873159933226231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483318610149117290.post-59713691346210164122009-08-04T18:39:29.467-07:002009-08-04T18:39:29.467-07:00@ Happy: I could pass for her twin at every age, f...@ Happy: I could pass for her twin at every age, from birth to now. Our voices are/were incredibly similar, as were our personalities. She moved out of the house at 17, was married to a VERY ABUSIVE man in the military, they were stationed on a small island (Crete.) ... I moved out at 17, was engaged to a very abusive man in the military, he was stationed on an island (Japan). We both became pregnant for the first time at 19- she had my oldest sister, I miscarried when she died and my fiance attacked me. <br /><br />I believe it was very hard for her to see the similarities between herself (she hated herself more than anyone else) and me. The disgust bled over onto me in that way. <br /><br />(Other similarities: Her father died of cancer, prompting her to find the strength to leave her husband. She died of cancer, prompting me to leave my fiance.<br /><br />That's where the similarities have stopped, so far. She had her first psychotic break at 25 and went on to have several more throughout her lifetime. I have not had one. Yet.

She must have been a very compelling person to inspire this incredible post because I'm not sure I would feel the same. I feel how much and how intensely you loved her. I am looking forward to reading your past posts to play catch up. Truly beautifully written.Happy Hour...Somewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006873159933226231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483318610149117290.post-47675940485151640392009-08-03T20:07:10.279-07:002009-08-03T20:07:10.279-07:00Don't know what to say, except, well written.Don't know what to say, except, well written.@elohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974297923741455898noreply@blogger.com
