Relationships after abuse

by Jennifer Bell-Lang
(Grand Isle, Vt. USA)

ummm...

ummm...

Hey, another night time thought...how can I have healthy relationships with people now that I know what unhealthy ones are.Hmmm...Well, I'm not sure what to say, I married a really great guy who came to get me every time I needed rescuing but I can't seem to rescue him from himself. I know he has suffered quite a bit of his own but I'm not sure that I'm strong enough to carry both of our burdens for the the two of us. Oh...I'm scared and tired. Any opinions?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Horses and mules carry other people's "stuff," but humans can only carry their own. He's on his own with his baggage, Jennifer. You must come first in your own life.

I just discovered this web site and I feel like I have found some great new friends.

I agree with Darlene, Jennifer. We think we can carry the load for others--but all we do is keep them weak.
