Are you a momma bear?

[Cardiparty]

At work, we were talking experiences we'd had where we had to stand up for our little ones. I'll admit, I have a hard time standing up for myself when it comes to face to face interactions. I've gotten better with time; it's something I'm working on.

But, when it comes to my son or my dogs, I'm a total momma bear.

Anyone else like this??

That is me completely. Though I am getting better at standing my ground for myself too. I find I no longer feel compelled to do things or change things I think work for me when I am ganged up on or bullied. I find I am getting better at knowing I am a person with a right to my opinion even if it differs from others.

after all the abuse, lies and so on that has happened in my life I am finding I am more warry and of people and it is VERY hard for me to trust anyone. Nico has never been away from me or his dad except when he went for surgery. In a few weeks he will be babysat for the first time and the idea of that has my stomach in knots.
