Sister's

Luckily I only have one sister. She can be a real pain in the ass. She tends to hold me to a higher standard that she herself can't live up too. It's O.k. for her to make mistakes and say I'm sorry but if I do that then she won't talk to me. That's what people in my family do if there upset with me. They stop talking to me. Then I feel like I have to beg their forgiveness and kiss there toe's.

Doormat rule no. whatever it doesn't matter, but doormat rule for this. Take the doormat away, then they have nothing to step on anymore. Don't put your feelings out there for them to grab hold of and throw your feelings away when there done. We have to learn that what we say to people has great consequences. Us doormats don't have the best communication skills. If we did we wouldn't be some one's doormat to begin with. We are very sensitive and we get our feeling hurt easily and they know this and they will do as they please with our feelings. So the key is, acceptance. This in no way means you have to like it, just accept it. Sometimes a relationship is too damaged to try and work something out. Sometimes we have to walk away no matter how much it hurts. Funny thing is, by doing this we regain our own self respect.

Respect yourself, Listen to Aretha Franklin, the women knows what she's talking about.
