When I went through my recovery from depression and learned about what a healthy relationship looks like, I started to explore and examine ALL my relationships. Not just with family and friends, but also with the state, corporations and the like. When I found out just how violent and abusive the state really was, I had to say no or accept the abuse. However, I learned to love myself and there was no way I would accept that level of abuse. So I chose to take a leap of faith and remove myself from it and confront the abusive behaviour head on. I did it because of the fear. I learned through martial arts that if I AM afraid, I turn and confront it. No runny away any more, which was an old behaviour of mine as I used to avoid confrontation at all costs. No more!
