SUPER cool of you to figure out, implement correction, admit about yourself and mostly, to WRITE DOWN! Thank you, thank you, thank you....Please elaborate, and you will heal even more damage out there...Some have been looking for words on that subject, some people even MORE adversely affected...Even severely abused...Please everyone, write more, if you have the insight and information, to help even more....<br/><br/>

I, too, was raised, and still have been hearing many negative words from my mother.  It's amazing how much it hurts to this day...Yet, just a tender sentence, "You know, you're my darling daughter," has been very healing.

It's never to late to start saying kind words to someone, especially to family members, and dear folks who mean so much to us.  We can make the change...We can make the difference!  :)<br/><br/>

We should find something positive everyday to tell our spouse, our children, our co-workers,  what a good daily change that would be. The other great point was don't resent the traits you inherited from your parents, dwell on the good they did and change what you don't like.  Great Post!<br/><br/>

It is nice to hear that there are some people out there that do say positive things to others. I had to change from saying negative things to positive things about 8 years ago. I realized how much my parents attitude had rubbed off on me and it was very negative. As a result I was saying things to my husband that were very mean.  I had a very negative attitude about myself and my life. I had a very low self esteem. I have worked hard to overcome those things in my life. I am working still on my self esteem. It is hard for me to accept when people say nice things to me. I have to really try to not say something negative when someone acknowledges something I have done that is good. It is hard to change that attitude. It is hard to become someone who gives good compliments instead of breaking someone down, But I did it. If I can do it anyone can. Thankyou for sharing this story.<br/><br/>

that story about the news is very sweet=) there should be more people in the world that appreciate the good in others and the things they do. i agree with you about raising children to be positive and inspiring and self confident adults. i am sure it is very hard to raise a child, and especially hard to raise them to be different from all the flaws you have in yourself. it takes a very determined adult to change what has been instilled in them their entire lives, and you are smart for recognizing only you can make a change. unfortunately we cannot go back into the past and rearrange our childhoods, although that would be awesome if we could=) i guess what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger. keep on being positive. surround yourself with positive people and things that make you happy. leave bad habits behind and replace them with the ones you as a child thought your parents should have done differently. it sounds silly, but sometimes, if you think like a child would, it is usually the purest and most innocent.<br/><br/>
