day93: you have the right to feel safe!!!

You have the RIGHT, 

the responsibility, in fact, 

the OBLIGATION to yourself 

to feel/be safe,

to be respected,

to be heard,

to feel good about who you are and what you do!

If there are people in your life that challenge any of these rights, 

you have the obligation to either walk away from this toxic person/relationship, or if you can't leave the situation, then you need to get help from someone who has power in the situation.

You have every right to ask for and receive what is due to you. In our society, we are still burdened with the theory that a woman is a bitch if she demands to be treated fairly and stands up for herself.  these views are changing, but there is a long way to go and with the current political landscape, women have been dealt a major setback. 

So I want you to remember that you have every right to feel safe, heard, appreciated, respected, and I hope you are fortunate enough to feel loved, by other people than ME!! Because I am sure you know that I LOVE you both to the moon and then to infinity!!!

love, mom
