Susan, I feel for you.
Here you are, thinking, writing, talking... and feeling.
Sometimes I feel that the best I can do is just that, the best I can do, and I have to accept it.
My mother was depressed a lot when I was a child, and what I never, ever heard from anyone was that it wasn't about me. I needed someone to say to me, y'know, Mommy gets very unhappy sometimes but it's not because of anything you did. Nothing you could do could ever make Mommy feel the way she does. Etc.
Susan, how is it that we can have such good insight into others (talking about you more than me!) yet when it comes to our own caca de bull we get lost in it?
WHen I write to you I always have the feeling that I'm not saying anything you don't know.
