People talking behind your back
Yeah, I sure sounded like I had it all together, didn't I. Problem is, I still have the fear and discouragement and will have to work on this a LONG time. It's a deep seated problem for me. What I appreciate about this forum is that I can see it's not an isolated situation. I sometimes feel like such a victim, but obviously a lot of you folks are going through the same or worse. I will continue to practice, because it does feel good to stand up for myself, even if I don't change anybody's mind about me or the gossip. Thank you all for posting.
