PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT
How You Can Help
Hurting Women
by DiAnne Malone
I
was thinking early this morning, every
one born on this earth had their first rela-
tionship with a woman. Just think about
it, both men and women were born of a
woman, and so in the womb, the very first
intimate relationships were born. Consid-
ering this, it seems that women should be
the masters (or mistresses) of relationships.
Sadly, this is not the case. Women often
have very deep wounds when it comes to
relationships and often the wounded woman
is the woman who imposes a wound to
someone else.

I remember talking to my husband
about a conflict I had with another woman.
I couldn’t understand the source of her
frustration and so, I became frustrated, too.
I took it personal. I, Me, Mine, and back
to I again. My husband delivered to me the
oldest and most true cliché I’d ever hurt. He
said to me, “Hurting people hurt people.”
“Well, that’s not fair.” I said
“Really, well you do it, I do it, we all do
it.”
“Why can’t we stop doing that?” I
asked him.
