thanks for privacy

I am so glad to have you all to take care of me!!!! I dont understand a lot about this computer business. Somewhere in the back of my mind I somehow think there is a little man in there running around plugging wires in and I might wear him out or something if I mess up out front of the computer. I am appalled that someone might "accidentally" snoop in my conversations and use it against me. Thank you for confirming that you cant just "accidentally" sign yourself into a blog site. I feel violated, as though someone were standing outside my bedroom window, looking in. I am not upset with my siblings (two of them) about being pricks (yes, I guess I am, or I wouldnt say that). I am upset over the deviousness and selfishness. I know I will get over it in time, but during the time I am getting over it, I will be discovering the real me in the relationship. I DO have a backbone! I use it when something really matters. It takes a long time for me to get riled up enough, though. I (emphasize I) got rid of the spanking stick. I told the abuser to knock it off. I called the police. I took a lot of the abuse in other ways to prevent it from falling onto my children. I followed the Spirit and joined the Church. I reported a Dr. for verbal abuse (and got fired). I reported an abusive teacher and demanded fair treatment of my child. I stood up to a mocking man in defense of my role as a LDS wife and mother. I defended another child accused of doing something he hadnt done. I DO have a backbone. I guess I am too quiet about it, and nobody knows it. It feel good after I have shown it, though. Thanks for noticing.

I am really proud of you Mama for finding your "backbone" and being able to recognize that you never really lost it or hid it...it was always there.
