I am a kind person inside. I am good to children, old people, animals. I don't even kill spiders. I put them outside.
But lately, if you cross me , my armour is on, I'm tough as nails and I dare you to cross the line.
I think this is in areas where someone is lying, or mis-representing themselves, or breaking promises. I know how much this is going to affect me and I fight, fight hard.

This is a battle for my mind, and I am not giving it up without a fight this time. At this age, if I give up I know it will be for good and I won't let that happen.

Agree with the above. I see nothing inappropriate about what you've written. In fact it seems most appropriate. Validate your feelings. You are allowed. And cut yourself some slack. :-)

I think your post just shows that you value yourself enough to draw clear boundaries and defend put yourself first...a great example for all of us.
Now as far as the b**** thing....I look at this way:

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Caring
H = Helpful

I'm VERY sure you are all of those things. {{hugs}}
