So great to see you spreading hope, Maureen. I hope men read this too because we tend to hide way too much in trying to be real men….whatever that’s supposed to mean. Thanks for sharing
"From the day we are born we are shaped by our family, friends, the media and all of society." Indeed, but what about religion, the worst indoctrinator of them all? "Honour thy mother and father" (maybe that will change to "birthing parent") and the rest of the crap, no matter how they treat you. I stopped doing what was expected of me around the age of four, and have never looked back in 70 years.
Your "recovering lawyer" identity makes me ponder mine. Perhaps "recovering people pleaser". Anyone? ....
Yes. I talk a lot about religious indoctrination in my book (Wake the F up) because the programming stands DIRECTLY in the way of waking up (and all Self awareness). Sadly. I am a recovering catholic so experienced it first hand. I am lucky to have escaped.
I was married for 30 years and tried and tried to move forward in love and affection but fell short because they were never happy to begin with. I tried to make a life with my best friend and do what was necessary including bprotected time. Wake up and see what is happening. You will be surprised
