Lately I have been wondering a lot about my life. At what point was it that I lost so much trust in Everyone? Anyone? Three years ago I was hurt so immensely, so entirely, that I think the part of me that will allow me to have an open heart was destroyed. I have always been so irritated by people that have a wall up against the ones around them... now I know I am queen to that world.
A little over three years ago, back home, what I experienced was a little like the Salem Witch Trials. That's what it felt like to me anyways. I was put up to judgement from all the people around me. I was lied about, scorned in public, publicly humiliated. The people around me were turned against me one by one till I was to the point that I didnt want to leave my home. I didnt answer the phone, I wouldn't see visitors... I wanted to be left alone. These people ruined my heart for a long time, and to this day I am still working out trust issues. Hell, the aftermath from this time is still occuring and will probably do so till the day I die.
I could go into details. I could go into so many details that the typing would start melting off of the computer screen. Yes it was that bad. Because of that I will not go into details. I try to remember that time as just being ugly and no remember every ugly detail.
Since that time, I had begun to mend. I had worked out my trust issues a bit and was walking a much happier path. Until last Summer. I was blasted again from a very unlikely source, a source so close to home a person would never expect it. I was blasted by family. Not my family, but family nonetheless. I was pregnant, The Man was deployed, Monkey had started therapy, my life was crumbling... and I got blasted.
I was blasted by the latest Deployment...
I was blasted by Hypotonia...
I was blasted by life in general...
Recently I was blasted by family again.
What causes a person to lie? To destroy happiness? Where does deceit come from?
I have hit the "piss or get off the pot" point with this situation. I need to figure out how to mend myself and get it done. I need true happiness and I need to be able to open up to those people in my life that I love. I have started with trying to reserve a little blotch of time everyday just for me... and I hope to get to start walking soon. I am putting this out there so receive advice from the people around me. I know I am not the only person on this earth that struggles with trust issues and I welcome help.
Hun, I cannot imagine what burned you so bad...and I know you did not deserve it because you are a wonderful person, mommy, and wife. Al I can say to you is that not everyone is alike. I have issues trusting people because they have a tendency to take advantage of my friendship. I end up being there for no other reason than their own personal needs. There are people out there who are true and will not use, or hurt you. Hang in there hun....I know you are doing a wonderful job.
ReplyDeletei dont know your exact situtaion but i know that when i had people in my life that i felt i couldnt trust i kicked them the fuck out for good! family included. theres no need for people like that being around me.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to do this, but you have to just let go, all you should have to worry about is your babies and the man! Rachel, you are an AMAZING woman, I know that have the strength to tell people if your not with me, get out!
