Get CompassionPower / A letter of Compassion:

Dear Anne,

In looking back at my 4 year relationship with you the best analogy I can think of to describe myself would be a rabid porcupine.  I had so much anger and resentment that they became quills bristling on the outside of my body that would spear your heart on a daily basis.  Just about everything you said and did touched off a feeling of inadequacy and powerlessness in me. I felt the strong urge to "defend myself" against the pain I felt by blaming you, lashing out in anger, engaging in power struggles and holding resentments inside of me. My controlling behaviors were ridiculous and I thought I could keep you in line by hitting, slapping and pushing you into submission.

My actions only made you fear for your safety and I often heard you crying late at night as you hid in the closet so I wouldn't hear you. My behavior caused you to tip toe around me in fear of me putting you down or striking out at you. You even asked me not to treat you badly and I agreed, only to do it again and again. You lost trust in me, I not only destroyed our relationship but I  destroyed your spirit to the point that you hated me and the life you were living.

My behavior also made me miserable. I was angry all the time. It seemed that the only time I really felt better was when I made you feel so bad you would do anything to please me.  I lost interest in myself and in you. I just didn't care anymore.

If I only had known about these classes before, there may have been a chance for us to rebuild what I destroyed, but we had gone our separate ways by the time I was referred to this class.

I have learned so much about myself and why I acted the way I did. This doesn't condone what I have done, yet I do believe that the things I learned have helped me to become a better person. I have learned to identify my inward hurts and to realize that I am responsible for my own happiness. and that above all else, compassion, not anger will help me understand t and deal with the fears, emotions and feelings which have been a prison of my own making. I am truly sorry for the hurt I caused you. I wish you only love and happiness.                                                              Ray, Feb.08
