All I can say is try and remember that there really are a LOT of good people in the world - keep going to therapy. And, BTW, love your header - what we fear will not go away ... I need to make peace with a few things myself :) <br /><br />Stopping in to follow from today's hop - hope you have time to visit soon and can return the favor :) www.shaunanosler.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123476681787448500.post-78551593461631607432012-01-30T11:02:38.673-06:002012-01-30T11:02:38.673-06:00Jeannette, I glad that this helped you not feel al...Jeannette, I glad that this helped you not feel alone... I'm also sorry that it all made such familiar sense. No child should have to guess what kind of mother they will be waking up to each day.Shatteredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522971021773946033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123476681787448500.post-15197362634998577072012-01-27T14:32:58.801-06:002012-01-27T14:32:58.801-06:00Mommy. Not Mommy. Other Mommy. Madness and meannes...Mommy. Not Mommy. Other Mommy. Madness and meanness and who knows what? So familiar. You write so powerfully, but I know it doesn't feel powerful to write these things. You have survived so much--such a soaring soul you have, but don't see that it is.<br /><br />We all see, though. As you would realize, this one hit very close to the bone for me; sister, your writing is a gift to the rest of us. May it be even more of a gift to yourself as you move through the sludge that is recovery.<br /><br />I find it so weird that sometimes the writing of it all seems to shine for other people, when inside we don't feel as if we shine at all.<br /><br />You do. I hope this weekend gives you some laughter and moments that are unencumbered and simple. Thank you so much for your words. I have so often felt terrrifyingly alone as I have faced my mother's madness. I am lucky it was only occasional--but it was there. Today, your entry helped me. So again, thank you.JeannetteLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528285846408727632noreply@blogger.com
