Karen -- PRINT OUT YOUR LAST POST AND TAKE IT WITH YOU to your next session!!!!
You are so articulate and clear here - so much you say is the hard stuff. The real stuff. It can't be easy to type all this. You've obviously been honest with yourself about all of this. Life doesn't have to hurt. I have done and do, everything you listed -- being perfect is what I do best. It sounds like for a long time you haven't had memories of stuff, but I have. I choose to ignore them, until *they* refused to be ignored anymore. The reasons it all came up are complicated but i find myself wishing I had dealt with this in my 20s, not at 40.
You're strong. You will get through it. There is nothing wrong with humor, BTW. It helps relieve the stress.Somehow being on my own for Thanksgiving sounds pretty inviting. Pretending to be OK for family is so hard...
