I am who I am.

Dinah, I have to say you are a very positive person from all your posts on here, you can't be as good of people as you are if there was something wrong with you. It aint about you its about the other person needing some of your positivety.

I know plenty of my family don't like the way I was most of my life. That feeling is kinda of mutual, I don't live my life to please them, you only get one shot at it this life, its mine to live the way I want and yours to live the way you want and if someone that is close to you is trying to tell you different, change you, or take away any of your happiness, they is either jealous, hurting on the inside, on drugs, or something wrong to make them want to strike out at you that way, so maybe you should turn the other cheek, and let them know you feel sorry for them but when they are down and need you, maybe you might still be here for them. If they keep on hurting you, maybe its time to send them on down the road until they can find a little better attitude.
