Dear Friends,
Thanks for following me over here at Living In Spin Cycle. I used blog here many months ago, when life was simpler. Ironically I made the change to A Road Less Traveled, to remove my life completely from abusive adoptive parents, and now have had to make the move back HERE to remove MORE family from my life.
I won't lie. I feel hurt, but most of all I feel embarrassed that I have family members that think so little of me that they are willing to attack me in such a personal way - - with little regard to where I am at in my life. I own my imperfections! I embrace them - - I have faults that have followed me many years - - ones my siblings are not willing to see past. I am not who I was years ago, trying to survive abuse with my brother and sister. I am also not the same person I was 10 years ago, 5 years ago, 1 year ago. I am a new person - albeit scarred from the past, I am NOT that girl they seek out to break her heart.
For now, what I am going to protect myself is I won't be listing this blog under my blogger profile. I have selected to not be allowed in search engine findings, and I also ask that you don't post a link to my blog, with my name or story attached, that can link me back here: http://www.livinginspincycle.blogspot.com/ .
If you are in contact with anyone in my family, PLEASE respect my privacy and do NOT pass my blog address along. If I have to, I'll set this blog to private, too - - which I hate to do because I feel like it takes away my opportunity to meet people that would be a blessing in my life.
Thanks for understanding. I'll be writing more, and getting this blog layout updated with something that more matches my life now.....
Love, Misty
Motherhood
A mother relating to her child in the private intimacy of her home, with no audience but unseen angels, is the predominant influence for all that is good and decent in the world. ~ George D. Durrant
Motherhood is the greatest potential influence for either good or ill in human life. The mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the child's mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world. - David O. McKay

Misty, I totally understand about family members.... I did not grow up in an abusive home, but when I got married 30+ years ago, very, very few of my large family attended. Actually only 1-sister-1-brother and two neices. They thought I was a heathan since my husband to be had been married before. I put you in my favorites on my computer, so you will not show up on the blogs that I follow, so nobody will be able to find you thru my blog.
Hang in there. We all have our faults. And I know I am not the person I was last year and before either.
Sorry you had to move back from your old address, but glad to still be part of the journey here with you.
Thanks for the link Misty. Sorry it had to happen this way. Hope for happier days for you and your family.
I completly understand and I will do my best to remember not to link you. I was going to follow you but then considered that it might list you as one of the blogs I follow on my profile which might be akin to linking you on my site - so I opted not to.
You don't need to be embarrassed that your family is toxic! I have toxic family members (well, mostly just my mother now) and I'm embarrassed for HER that she's a malignant narcissist. You have no control over their behavior, but I commend you for distancing yourself: attitude is contagious.
I'll follow you on Bloglines, but I can do that privately so no one will know. And no one reads by blog anymore (well, maybe 2 people...), so you're safe there! (But I'm not linking to you!!!)
Be well and have a great weekend :)
So glad to be able to continue to follow your life on this blog. I am sorry that you are having to deal with a crappy family situation. I will be adding you to my google reader. I figure that will make it less likely for anyone to find you at this blog address:)
Found you! (It was super hard from that email you sent - ha) I'm glad you're still writing and able to avoid the Ass Factory that is your Certain Family. I think you're awesome and inspiring and I'm glad you're sharing your life with all of us! I hope you guys had a nice Christmas!
So glad to be able to continue to read your new blog. Again, sorry about what happened. *hugs*
