I'm so sorry Nora. This is such unthinkable hateful betrayal. :( YOU have been such a gift/blessing in my life. I consider myself so lucky to have met you. <3 Love you.
And I see you as SO intelligent, loving, funny, Interesting as hell and beautiful. I think they must have just been jealous. That's all I can imagine. I don't say that to be spiteful.. it's just sad for all.
Oh Nora, this triggered me and broke my heart for you and for me. You ARE NOT A LOSER! Your parents were super losers, including that asshole step father. I am so sorry for the abuse you endured and how magnificently you have overcome as a loving, caring healer for all kinds of pain, and supporter of joy. Lot is changing for you, I feel for the good, and I wish you ever increasing peace. I love you
I am sorry. You deserve much better. Neither your parents were up for the job they undertook of being parents and that's on them. They had a choice, they chose hatred over love. I am really sorry.
Abuse is so horrible and so similar. My father didn't wanted children, I was born, he blamed me all my life for being born. My mother received some money from her parents' inheritance, she lost it all at the casino. When the casino went out of business, I said to my sister, you see, there goes our inheritance. I was joking (well not really...).
I am proud of you for becoming the woman you are. Child abuse takes away your sense of self, your worth. As you become an adult it become second nature to self hate and easy to act on eliminating what you hate the most. It takes a lot to build all of you from zero, because that's where your parents leave you: a nothing. You have to build yourself up, discover what you are, where to go, how to go... everything. You have done so much and blossomed in a woman with a heart of gold, caring and loving and shining such wonderful light.
I know it's easy to feel the loser and part of you will always sort of feel it, no matter what. I know, I certainly do. The inner child that hasn't receive what should have been freely and lovingly given.
Not only you've been able to found love, the love you were not given as a child, but you are able to offer it to everyone coming your way.
Your parents chose not to see the wonderful being you are. It's on them.
You have certainly proven you are A M A Z I N G.
You have thought me so much you have no idea the impact you have been having over the years.
Learning about your beginnings, I can tell you: that was not at all a clear journey for you to get there. But you did it.
That is the difference between your parents and you. They choose hate, you've chosen love.
The first thing that came to mind as I sit here, horrified at your parents' cruelty is..FUCK HEADS. I want to scream at them.
You are amazing! So so amazingly loving, wise, beautiful, a true being of service, my teacher, loving and more loving.
I'm going to right now tell your childself how sorry I am, you never ever deserved to be abandoned and treated so God awfully horrible.
Your future self made it! She found love for herself ( you) she has a wise and wonderful partner who cares for her and is on her team. She has beautiful dogs that give her an abundance of love. She has created a community of many that shower her with love which is a reflection of the immense love she pours out. I'm glad you told me about all the reckless and horrible things your parents did. I'm glad because I get to tell you how you did never deserve it and despite it you navigated with your sister alone and made it to a very healthy and beautiful future you. you are amazing to have accomplished this. I love you little Nora and all versions. And you know what? You are connected to infinite possibilities, your wealth lives within, not in your mean parent's bank account. I know future Nora knows this, I'm telling little girl Nora... much much more is available to you than what your mother and father could ever give.
I’m so sorry you went through abuse from such unconscious, hurtful people. I can relate. Family karma such as this is hard. You are a shining light and brave. It’s no wonder they can’t see who you are. My mother couldn’t begin to see me until she dropped her body. I send you much love and grace friend. 🫶
You are FAR from a loser. You and I have only recently met, but............so far............you really positively IMPRESS me! And, you're a cutie too (but, don't tell Jon I said so. I don't want that Big Lug kickin' my tail!).
Wait until you hear about my mother. 🙃Some of us were just raised by assholes. But we made it through, recognized it wasn’t us, it was them. And now have good friends, communities, partners and a real life. You are the winner, my dear.
It's amazing that people can have experiences like yours and still, STILL, give, co-create and reflect back so much light and love. You are authentic, compassionate, brilliant, you empower others and you know your shadow. I am 49, just a few years younger than you, and you are one of my role models for how to show up in the world. Thank you for being you and telling your story.
Hi Nora! It was really hard to read this but i can only think how somehow the challenges made you so strong in your Light in the end. I had a relatively easy childhood and i sometimes wonder if that's why i feel like i could be doing so much more but i don't, I don't have that impetus to push myself. Also, I've been thinking of timing of your Saturn transit and having to move. You moved to your current place 14 years ago which would have been your Saturn opposition, now with Saturn return this theme of Home is coming up again. Is Saturn in your 4th house? But 14 years ago you did land in a good place, so there's a thread there that Saturn perhaps has something better in store for you now. Yes Life can be hard but Brigid is on your side! Among many others!! much love to you from me and all of my allies
I am a firm believer we that we create our family unit as adults with those special friends who we love and share a deep connection with. In spirit we choose our biological family unit for the growth we have to experience in this life which takes alot of time to peel away the layers of trauma. It's so sad so many children grow up with lack of care and parenting. My mother did the best she could while my father suffered with mental illness his whole life. It wasn't easy for my sister and me but there are way worse things that could have happened and I'm grateful I survived. You are an inspiration to all that know you and hear/read your words. When I think of you I see your radiant smile and hear your laughter. You are changing the world Nora!💖💖💖
You are so adorable in that photo Nora. Even in the midst of the awful things you were going through your inner light and soul shone through. I am sending that younger you so much love.
I don't think renting at 56 is bad at all. Owning a house can trap people in locations they don't want to be in especially with the markets going up and down. I think there are pros and cons to both and people choose different things for different reasons. So I look at it like you chose to rent for a while because it gives you freedom and you are in a beautiful location. I know it put you at the whim of your landlord and that is awful and I am so sorry you are being forced to move. Having to move with nowhere to go is scary, I have been there in childhood as my Mom barely made any money and we were evicted and homeless staying with relatives or anyone who would have us several times in life.
I am so sorry you weren't supported and didn't know the unconditional love you deserved to know from your parents. I am also sorry she completely cut you out of her will, that is just hateful and awful. So many times parents don't deserve the children they give birth in my opinion. And when the parent can contribute to the children financially it is such utter bullshit that they throw money away on others and never help. (If I sound bitter it is from firsthand experience with my husband's mother who shouldn't be called a mother the way she treated him and still does and can't even be bothered anymore to send a birthday card much less the $50 she used to send when his Dad was alive and she had to keep up appearances for him).
I am so glad you found Jon, and your way, and your furbabies. You help so many of us and are a beacon of light and love and an example for us to follow. I love you and am grateful for the wonderful, powerful, talented woman you are today.
I'm so sorry Nora. This is such unthinkable hateful betrayal. :( YOU have been such a gift/blessing in my life. I consider myself so lucky to have met you. <3 Love you.
Thank you. I love you too.

How utterly heartbreaking. I am so very sorry you have had to live this.
Thank you, Anne.

Thank you so much, Susan. I love you too.
PS cutest picture ever of you and your teddy bear.
Thank you :)
Yes, absolutely adorable photo!! They had to be jealous of your light.
True
I’m so sorry you went through abuse from such unconscious, hurtful people. I can relate. Family karma such as this is hard. You are a shining light and brave. It’s no wonder they can’t see who you are. My mother couldn’t begin to see me until she dropped her body. I send you much love and grace friend. 🫶
Thank you, Irma. Much love in return.
Nora,
You are FAR from a loser. You and I have only recently met, but............so far............you really positively IMPRESS me! And, you're a cutie too (but, don't tell Jon I said so. I don't want that Big Lug kickin' my tail!).

Thank you, Drew LOL

Thank you. I am sorry for what you went through. Sending you love.
Thank you. Love back at ya!
Nora, sending you hugs. Thank you for sharing your story. You are not a loser, the P's would not agree with that term!!! Lol
Thank you :))

Oh Nora, this is ducking heart breaking. Abandonment comes in so many disgusting flavors, doesn’t it?
Yay are so sweet, your heart is so kind and giving. I see this in your betting and smile. Such joy!
I hurt reading this story.
I’m so happy you’re here and that you survived that devastating hell.
You are a winner and you’re very encouraging to me.
I have lots of stories from childhood and you’ve been encouraging for me to write my own. Thank you and much love.
