Hi LibB
I had a realisation this morning at 0227am lol about this picture. I wasn't even thinking about it but I just suddenly woke up and thought, this is my life! OMG!!
I think Evie said something similar:

Interesting picture. You do realise that I wasn't doing a reading for you, I was relating my life to your drawing and how it reflects things in my life. I realised this when I re-read this post before submitting it... and the words "you" didn't ring true, anymore...

I certainly didn't have anyone breaking my jaw but there were things that happened in my childhood - my sisters constantly putting me down and ridiculing me for having too big eyes or a longer shape face than theirs etc.. and my parents did nothing to stop it. They even laughed along sometimes. Didn't they realise how sensitive I was and how hurtful they were being. I was a very shy and mousey type when I was a kid so didn't have the courage to speak up and really, when people pick on you lke that (and yr own family), you just don't want to speak up. If your own family can't love you for the way you are, then what hope is there for anyone else.
I married a guy who did/said similar things - always comparing me to other girls/women and saying things like why can't you look like them, why can't you dress like them, why can't you be more like them. That's another story in itself and one I won't go into right now but it was hurtful just the same.
I never felt good enough or pretty enough for my family or him. It still makes me cry when I think of those times. So I'll shut up now and move on. :(
I think you are just SOOOO clever and would love to learn this form of art if you could teach me. I like this kind of drawing better than drawing faces I think. lol I'm just not organised at the moment and I think you've got too much going on too and I'm more than happy to wait for things to settle down a bit more.
Love yr work girl!!
