Toxic relationships

People who manage their lives effectively are generally those who work internally who know that success and well-being comes from within (internal locus of control). Negative people generally work externally – i.e. blame others or outside events for everything that does or doesn’t happen (external locus of control).

When emotionally strong people feel good about something they’ve done, they don’t let anyone’s shallow opinions or spiteful remarks take that away from them.

You are in control of keeping yourself safe emotionally. If someone shows you that they aren’t emotionally safe, you have to take initiative and protect yourself. #selfcarequotes #mentalhealthwellness #mentalhealthrecovery #vulnerabilityisstrength #vulnerability #toxicrelationships #toxicpeople #toxicfamily #sherrynafehlmft #toxicrelationship #selfawarenessquotes #selfconfidenceboost #selfconfidenceiskey #selfcarethreads #selfcarelove #womanempowerment #womancare #mindfulnessquotes copingskills101 #mindfullnessmoment #mindfulmft #parentingquotes #parentinglife

Child Molestation and abuse- Commentary on http://www.jewishcommunitywatch.org/the-child-rape-assembly-line/

http://www.jewishcommunitywatch.org/the-child-rape-assembly-line/
In the past few months, there has been a great amount of deliberation about sexual abuse towards children and our community. This article brings me so much sadness, but than there is relief, that someone as courageous as this man, has given his being and identity to bring some awareness to these acts of abuse. As stated in the article, about 70% acts of abuse, happens from a person the child knows and trusts. Unfortunately these, sick individuals pry on the innocence of children and once they feel they can be trusted they take action. As parents, we are and have to be the biggest advocates for our youth, and that starts with clear communication. I say clear, because some parents believe that culturally is not proper to teach children the correct names of their private parts and or speak to young children about sexual and individual privacy. If you teach your child that they have a head, two hands, and two feet, why wouldn't you tell them the correct name for their genitals? Speaking with your children, about their privacy and body parts needs to be normalized and spoke about often. Allow them to feel comfortable to speak with you, if they have felt uncomfortable by anyone. The painful scars of, Sexual abuse and molestation are not only physically but mentally and scars remain and affects individuals socially. “The feeling of betrayal heals, but is never erased.” Many, individuals whom are not permitted, to share the pain of their abuse and loss of their innocence often, grow to have many problems from sexual dysfunction and sexual identity disorder, to depression and anxiety. They become afraid to trust those around them, and than imagine how life would look like for your child if they could never trust anyone?
