Cherry Bomb: "Family Baggage"

it feels good to be first 

FOR THE RECORD. THAT WASN'T A SISSY SCREAM. IT WAS MY WAR CRY...LOL

"I'm vegan so I will only steal the vegan things on your plate which reduces the number"...

And I so do that right bites thing too, how weird! I eat the edges of my meal so that I can leave the best bit till last, and the outer part is rushed.. and the inner part absolutely cherished.  

"I know there's people that don't want to be with me, thats fine, I don't need them all to tell me" - (Tatum).. lol.

Interesting and entertaining episode as always. It is a perfect way to kick off my weekend and my friday is not complete without you four lovely, smart and funny ladies:)

Lots and lots of love from Sweden

Hello ladies,

Just to let you know that I think you are getting better and better! I enjoyed this episode a lot and always watch every episode religiously, even if I do not always comment.

Nikki, I totally identify with the pattern you described, being a product of role-reversal myself. For years I saw myself getting into relationships where I had the role of a carer in one way or another, especially emotionally. That is something I knew how to do extremelly well (for better and for worse) so I naturally looked for that. It took me awhile to realize, though, why these relationships were so draining and unsatisfying.

It is truly amazing how much of us is shapped by forces outside of us. 

Thanks again for the topic!

Wow, ladies, you are awesome! I'm so impressed by all of your deep understanding and insight in this issue. You totally blew me away in a nice way. I particularly liked the way you agreed that by working through the relationships, you get to know yourself, which is a life-long process, and that it's hard work but so worth it. Knowing your issues and being prepared to be patient with your partner's are very important in satisfying relationships. You said it all....very well! 

...Sadly, I have no one to give me this opportunity of personal growth, but I tasted the process a little in a friendship. I guess when you get close to a person, you are bound to step onto their land mines. You also know what your issues are.....

Thank you for the vlog. 

 Nice to see Nikki's back to her old self...discussing,sharing her thoughts and experiences. Because the last episode where they talk about "settling in your relationship", you can hardly hear her talk,she seems to be lost for words and not on her element.

I see you had your mojo back, Nikki.

Great blog!

My triggers: privacy and courtesy. Don't go through my stuff. I'm entitled to stuff that doesn't have anything to do with you. Call me when you can't make it or when you're gonna be late because people have no idea how i bust my ass to make sure i show up somewhere on time, even if i don't feel like doin it because I keep my word.

... for another awesome vlog!

I could relate to several things (like, the walking away to have some breathing room when I'm super pissed off - which rarely happens - and the "Berlin Wall" thing Nikki talks about) and it makes me realize I'm not the only one working through baggage.

I wish this vlog happened a year ago.  This explains so much for me about some of my exes and myself.  Thanks ladies for another wonderful vlog!

 looking forward to the next one.

This episode was well needed I feel like Ive been going through these things in so many ways for a while and I never put my finger on it. Thanks
