This is what tough women say:
TRUST no one, especially not men. If it needs to be done, I can do it myself or find someone to do it for me. If I have to steal it, sleep for it, or find some other way to do it --I'll do it. I'll do anything but depend on someone else to do it for me. I will protect my children like a mother tiger. No one will harm them or do to them what was done to me. I love God because He is my ally in the battle. He's got my back, and He won't let me down.
(This is what tough women really feel):
I have been hurt and broken so much I don't dare open up my real feelings to another person, but only God knows how much I want to be loved. I want my daddy back. I want real love, but all that's offered is a cheap substitute. Still, I will take it. I'll do anything for love -- I would steal for it, sleep for it, give up my own self-respect for it. I would sacrifice my children for it. I would do whatever it takes to fill this emptiness.
I believe in fantasies. I believe lies. But I can't accept the Truth that saves me.
