Moonwalking was a reference to you taking steps forward and going backwards at the same time 🙂
I was mainly asking about your current partner or your 6 your old's father, as in a physical relationship with another person. Is there anyone in your life at the moment who makes you feel like you have to be strong.. because if you didn't be strong you would be unworthy or fearful of what could happen next? (besides your child)
Regarding pain and why you self harm, Although I can't directly relate, I can understand the pain, and the need to treat it in this way. I just hope i can be part o your journey past this point in time and can help you get to a point where the pain is not so overwhelming that you can deal with it in a different way.
Good luck with your surgery by the way and even when you are your own worst enemy or best friend, you win because you gain knowledge. Knowledge gives us the power to understand what is and change it if we have the knowledge of the systems that govern the change.
Last of all, Thank you for being open.
