I have still been reflecting on my homework assignment. It has been one of the hardest assignments that I have been given. Last night, I reflected on some of the hurtful names that I was called or I was told that I was, such as loser, loner, ugly, stupid, etc. This form or bullying did not just come from my family but also from my friends. It hurt to trudge up those memories. I understand that I can't heal from them until they are out in the open. I wrote down this list of names and then I didn't know what to do with it, so I burned it. It felt good. My kids wondered what I was doing. Thankfully I did not set anything else on fire and I blew it out before I burned myself.
I have still reflected on my relationship with Heavenly Father. This relationship hurts the very most. Jade and the Bishop have both said that my relationship with my Earthly Father is a mirror of my relationship with my Heavenly Father. This makes me sad. I have been working thru some anger, anger at my parents, my brother, myself, and Heavenly Father. I asked the Bishop if it was OK for me to be angry with God. He texted back something that I absolutely needed to hear "he (God)has big shoulders." Which means to me that he can handle it. God is aware of my emotions right now. As I have thought about my anger, I have thought, how can I change my anger into something good? I could become an advocate over sexual abuse. I have thought about coming out to my friends but I am not sure the rest of my family is ready to hear the news.
