At what point did I turn on myself in order to survive? I’m going to be chewing on that one for a while. I really appreciate that you are talking about self-contempt. I needed to hear your perspectives on the topic at this exact point in my own healing journey. Somehow the message I received along the way was changed from “love your neighbor as yourself” to “love your neighbor instead of yourself.” And also I think our entire culture has the wrong idea about what it means to love ourselves; which seems to have become synonymous with spoiling or pampering ourselves. To I Corinthians 13 love ourselves is to give grace while still holding ourselves accountable to a standard, which then becomes the issue. To what standard am I holding myself accountable? Or at least that is where my rumination on the subject led me. Thank you for thinking deeply, and thank you for sharing what you have learned along the way. 💜
