Temporarily gave up my sanity, thankfully I think I found it again!

I gave up my eldest son. This is something still troubles me. I also throw away a snake, a puffed up snake. He really looked as alive, a nice snake very beautiful, a big one. The reason I got rid of the snake was that I believed that it was daemon possessed.

Like Bodhistava, I mostly regret that I gave up my career, that I am now trying to get back into but in the entertainment biz, it's difficult for old folks, so I'm not sure if it is too late for me now.
I also gave up the love of my life because he was "worldly".
And while at the time (because the borg taught me I was doing the right thing) I didn't care, thinking about it now, I also wish I hadn't given up the special times with my "wordly" family such as the holidays. Especially after my dad died, those times without me must have been really sad for my mother. I feel so bad, that I put my family through that.

I gave up friends( worldly)
I threw out a gold cross a friend had given me( demonized)
I threw out wooden Hand carved "Indian Goddesses "( worth a lot today)
Threw away a desk( it had come from a church-& because we moved into a basement that was damp- it use to "knock" as it expanded-the Bros? told me it was demonized( it was an antique)
Threw out a brand new set of dishes- that had churches on them- my daughter got them for a wedding preasant)
All my Christmas decorations.
DAH!!!!
