A key word that you will see:
Fragmentation: a mental process where a person becomes intensely emotionally focused on one aspect of themselves, such as “I am angry” or “no one loves me,” to the point where all thoughts, feelings and behavior demonstrate this emotional state, in which, the person does not or is unable to take into account the reality of their environment, others or themselves and their resources. This is a term that my therapist and I use and is on the continuum of dissociation.
Jennifer of Writing to Survive has offered me to passed along a fun little meme. The task: write my memoir in six words. OK. I am up for the challenge, but I can't do it as a memoir. I'll do it my way.
Love God Help People Compassion Integrity
These are the words that I want people to know me by!!!
I want people to know me for my love of God and my life as a Christian. I want know me as a person who loves to help and care for others with compassion and respect. I also want to be known for my integrity meaning: "adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty." In someways, this characteristic has gotten me into trouble because I tell the truth even when I mess up which led to a warning at work. But, I was not going to cover up or divert the responsibility elsewhere. Also, my therapist says that this is a characteristic that has helped me to survive my past and has sustained me through my healing journey.
So, now I pass it along to the following bloggers, if they wish to participate:

All right, Clueless, I'll give this one a shot...
Thank you Jazz. I thought this one would be interesting for you. Only six words.
Sorry I haven't been around. I subscribe to your blog here, but for some reason my reader hasn't fed me your latest posts...Hm.
Anyways, let me give this some thought...I'm not sure right now.
It is totally okay if you don't want to do this.
Thanks for participating, Clueless. I like your approach.
Hope to catch up with your blog tonight, after the kid is safely ensconced in bed.
I honestly can't think of six words...
Could be my "identity disturbance/unstable sense of self."
@wandering coyote. I like that!!
