Daphnewood the Jellyfish

I can never tell my family exactly what is on my mind. I don't like to start conflict and I often go extra lengths to be a peacemaker. I feel so spineless. Just once I would like to be brave enough to speak freely. Just once.

I can give you lessons if you want, and you can show me how to keep my mouth shut for once. Deal?

**hugs**

Hope it gets better.

What keeps you from speaking up? Fear? If so, of what?

You can borrow my spine if you want. It's a bit crooked, but it'll do. :)

thank you all for your support. My husband is the only person in the world that I feel I can speak my mind. And I guess that is the one relationship that matters the most. My family, well you grow up with a certain 'role' and to step out of that would create chaos. So I keep my mouth shut. I am afraid of hurting feelings or saying something badly (you know when things come out wrong). Words can never be taken back so I choose them carefully.

Can you teach me to choose words carefully? I always say the first thing that springs to mind, I'm a firey sort.

I think it's good to sometimes be a jellyfish, as long as you have someone you can speak your mind too, which you do. As Sangroncito says, maybe that's why we blog - it's a great place to speak freely about many important things.

It's good to let things work themselves out without too much involvement a lot of times.. That's when people learn to be more independent.

My mother meddles in my life so much that I now tune her out - without even trying.
