	<description>When a mother is forced to choose between the child and the culture, there is something abhorrently cruel and unconsidered about that culture. A culture that requires harm to one&#039;s soul in order to follow the cultures prescriptions is a very sick culture indeed. This &#039;culture&#039; can be the one a woman lives in, but more damning yet, it can be the one she carries around and complies with within her own mind.....&#34; -- Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes</description>

		<description>Thank you Rox. I was not saying identifying as a victim means you are a bad person. I never said once that Suz was a bad person.

I don&#039;t think you can talk about your life as being a trauma and feeling like you are living with a gaping wound and be HAPPY at the same time. That&#039;s ridiculous.

Yes of course we can have periods of our lives where we are aware of pain and trauma that&#039;s why they have different names. It&#039;s not happy + trauma or happy with my gapin wounds...it&#039;s either happy or not. If you are writing on a daily basis about something and calling it a trauma, if you are busy on a daily basis with your pain, if you are leaving comments on other people&#039;s blogs about your awful experience then you are not HAPPY or at least you are not giving the indication that you are happy. To think otherwise is very strange indeed. What is there to disagree with?
Happy people are not living with gaping wounds nor are their lives traumatic. Happy people don&#039;t write about a trauma on a daily basis, they just don&#039;t.

Not being a happy person doesn&#039;t mean one is weak. There is no negative about this.

Am glad my simple questions raised strong responses.

Even if it means that Suz starts to focus on more positive aspects of her life and starts to feel better and I am seen as the enemy that&#039;s ok with me. I only want Suz to be happy. What is there to disagree with about wanting someone to feel good and to feel blessed?

Thanks for letting me say this I appreciate that.</description>
