@ENKELI  you are not to blame when you are being psychologically and emotionally manipulated and abused.

I lived in a coercive control relationship for 13 years.

He took everything except my car and two suitcases of clothes.

It’s not your fault that you are a good, kind and generous person.

You gave someone you trusted the benefit of the doubt and they abused your trust.

You my dear friend, did nothing wrong!

@ENKELI  Why and how did you learn Finnish 🇫🇮?

@PeppyPatti thank you. It's nice to finally be heard.

I don't want/need validation, just someone to say that they listened to what I said instead of being talked over, ignored or straight out told my feelings don't count. That's all I wanted.

@ENKELI you poor thing. You have been bullied and abused just for existing.

I know what that feels like. I bet you get targeted by every person that wants to take their anxiety out on someone.

@Glisten when I was about 16 my mum and brother decided to learn Russian. It was their mother-son bonding thing they did together. I decided to go one better and learn Finnish. No particular reason except that I didn't want to learn Italian, French, Japanese or Indonesian which was all that was on offer at school.

I got in contact with a minister at the Finnish Lutheran church in Perth and he put me in touch with a girl the same age as me who taught me. I am better at writing than speaking it though, I was never able to roll my "rrrrs" I've forgotten most of it now but I do have a very well worn note book with phrases and everyday sayings in it.

That is amazing @ENKELI!

Do you know how good learning a second language is for your brain 🧠 

It does amazing things for you!

It would be so cool if you could do something with this wonderful skill.

Have you grown up with pets ? 

My sons had pet stick insects. 

It was as far as I could cope with pets. But when my youngest son moved out of him my friends came over and they said, Right, we are worried about you. We are going to either put your profile on a dating site or we are gonna get you a dog 

So begun my love affair with dogs. 

Do you have a funny tale ??

@ENKELI 

I am proud to be vulnerable

You are amazing you can too. 

If you think of 2 lists 

 1: everyone in the world who can be vulnerable 

2: everyone in the world who can't be vulnerable 

Number 2 would have the most names. 

You went to the dentist. You had to pay because health insurance card didn't work 

You are doing your life the absolutely best you can. 

You have been descriptive and creative and easy to understand since last week. 

Didn't you start a new language with @Glisten ??
