Dear One Man Alone,
You have obviously been given a heavy load to deal with in your life. But
you make things harder on yourself by holding on to the past. We all make
mistakes that we are sorry for. You seem to have learned the lesson that
being cruel to animals and others in reaction to cruelty done to you simply
causes us more pain. It's in the past. You are forgiven! :))
Kids are cruel, but happily we are not kids forever. There is a Buddhist
saying ;) that at one time or another in our incarnation, everyone we meet
was once our mother and we theirs. This makes for some strange combinations,
I'll grant you. :)) But I think the meaning of this is that we once loved and
were loved by the most hateful of our enemies. It allows us to see our
relationships with new perspectives.
Remember, it's probably been tough on your step brother and sister, too.
They are probably slightly traumatized by their new living situation as well.
Simply try to respond to insults with dignity and courtesy as your mother
obviously has taught you to do. Let these fall past you. Your Mom seems
terrific, btw!
I've known homely people who attract others like honey, and beautiful people
who are always lonely and unhappy. I suspect if you were allowed to trade
your intelligence for beauty you would turn down that trade! :))
How we appear is, in large part, how we treat and react to others. Happy
people are those who are generally happy within themselves, and they exude a
certain aura that attracts others. This takes learning to accept ourselves
and others, despite our faults and theirs.
It took courage to write what you did. You will get past the pain if you
don't dwell overmuch on it!
Love, Hillary
