Perfection v. Self Reflection

There are folks (those who are perfect and infallible- the blamers, accusers, hustlers, takers, the entitled, and delusional) unable to to say or think any of the following:

I made a mistake

I blew it

I was wrong, out of line

I was over reacting

I did not know–I was confused, scared, panicked, frustrated, feeling insecure

I misunderstood

I did not have all the information

I regret that I said/did that

What I said/did was hurtful

I do not know

I was unfair

I was unreasonable

I want to change and do better

I want to fix the damage and pain of my choices

I don’t want to always be right if it means you have to be wrong

There are things about myself I need help with and would like to change

My behavior was childish

My reaction was uninformed and dishonest

I need help with my destructive patterns

I do not want to continue in the way that I have

What do I need to do to make things right J

I would like to to get it right more than I need to be right.

Any 12 Step meeting can help, help to reparent and heal you, help with spiritual recovery, spiritual retrieval. On-line and in person. Meetings are anonymous. They help all– who are genuinely seeking change, transformation, healing.ilan Catherine Ghoneim Whitney Catherine Ghoneim Maggie Ghoneim

I am in a program of recovery for those whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking, drug use, mental illness. I am newly learning faith, hope, and courage, practices not witnessed by me, in my childhood, with my family. Sadly, No Contact, as a last resort, is how I keep safe from diminishing words and actions directed at me. I think I have listened for the last time to how I deserve mistreatment. By holding out for something more wholesome and loving, I have been both banished and demanded to return. I prefer serenity to proximity. I will continue with my program and faith in the best possible outcome, so long as I do my part-- to stalk GOD as if my life depends on it.
