    To my dear friends,
    I realize that my recent actions, have offended some of my friends here on Daily Strength. Though I do appreciate the love and support I have recieved, I have also read some messages that have disturbed me. Even though you may be mad at me, there is no reason to disrespect me or my family. Informing me to get with God or burn in hell or accusing my boyfriend, who has been worki...

  • Childishness

    Friday, September 12, 2008 | A Venting story

        I see by the various post, hugs, and such, that we have another ripple of discontent running amok in DS.  It never ceases to amaze me how people who come to a support site can find so many excuses to stab each other in the back, seek to ban others, play censorship games with journals, and generally dust everybody's attic but their own.
    I am not naming names, because the...

  • Just stuff

    Monday, October 27, 2008

    Sometimes I ask myself why did they choose me? Why was I the target of all of the sexual abuse? How can a parent and grandparent find a 6 month old little girl sexually arousing? Why couldn't my father meet his sexual needs by having sex with his wife? Why couldn't my mother meet her sexual needs by having sex with her husband? Did they find each other unattractive enough that they had to...

  • Need to Change Direction

    Tuesday, November 18, 2008 | A Venting story

        You would think it would all be over with, but the fussing continues, as members of a group I used to belong to still carry on.  True, one person seems  to be the angriest, and because I have not joined the lynch mob, I have lost a couple of friends.  Oh well, shit happens.  My friend is obviously stressed about something, and adding fuel to the fire burning...

  • Why I don't like smokers

    Sunday, January 4, 2009

    It's funny the course a thought can sometimes take. For personal reasons I was contemplating the mindset of an abuser and psychological factors and my mind jumped to an analogy of smoking and thus the revelation: smokers are like abusers. Or, more correctly, smokers are abusers.
    Why? Think about it. A smoker is doing something very self damaging and, when they smoke around others they are infl...

  • Feel like somebody

    Tuesday, February 17, 2009

    I just want to feel like somebody, someone worth loving, I feel punished, I want to feel valued and let go of all this negative crap. Just not there yet, still stuck in my rut. I am somebody, aren't I? I disappeared into my husband's persona, finding my own is so slow and arduous, sometimes it feels impossible. I am so confused.This can't be real. How could he do this to us? To me, de...

It turns into the evening, still nothing.....though knowing hes there. I cant hel...
