June: Day 13

 Day 13: I am proud of myself for...

Getting through this last year of family betrayal and drama (seems like too understated a word) with my integrity, dignity, character, self-respect, and sanity intact. It's been no easy feat! It's actually been one of the most difficult things that I have ever done. The high road isn't an easy road. I have been attacked on every level personally and publicly. My name, character, and reputation has been dragged through the mud over and over and over again. I have been called every kind of vicious, vile, and hateful name possible both personally and publicly. I have been vilified and attacked along with my husband, kids, brother, and sister-in-law. We've been lied about and treated like crap by people who I thought were friends and supportive family. Still...I have kept true to myself and my integrity and values. I can look myself in the mirror every day and like who I see. And one day I will be able to look my mother in the eye and have nothing to regret or be ashamed of. I am at peace with me.
