Dolly Little
For the first five decades of her life, Dolly
wore her inferiority complex like a second
skin. It was so much a part of her that she
didn’t even know it was there. Possibly nobody
else did either.
...view moreFor the first five decades of her life, Dolly
wore her inferiority complex like a second
skin. It was so much a part of her that she
didn’t even know it was there. Possibly nobody
else did either.
At the age of four she was told, by her birth
Mother, ‘big girls don’t cry’. So from that time
on she didn’t!! Except when she absolutely
couldn’t help it and then she would go away
on her own so that she wouldn’t be a nuisance
or make anyone cross with her. It was the age
when children were seen but not heard.
Just before her eighth birthday her Father left without saying ‘Goodbye’ and
this resulted in her Mother having to put Dolly and her little sister into foster
care. There were three homes, the first was only temporary whilst a permanent
one was found. The second was not a happy experience for Dolly but the third
was just magic. She felt so lucky to be a part of Mum’s family.
In decade number six there were many changes in Dolly’s life, she walked away
from a thirty year marriage and set up home on her own, not an easy thing
to do. Many new friends came into her life and between them they managed
to teach her how to value herself. It took a lot of patience and persistence but
gradually the healing took hold and is still continuing today. By helping others
she found that she was helping herself too, magic.view less
