Thank you for the list Poet...it helps to get me started to think of those things. I guess I don't consider myself "unlikeable" just not all that forth coming. But I'm a great caretaker!
I have been writing poetry since I was 7...I remember my first poem when my mom was sick "I'm sorry you are sick, you'd probably rather play in the mud with a stick." Gosh, I was so deep. :) Actually, it occurs to me why I probably remember that poem and that IS sort of deep.
My middle kid is also a writer. He and I were talking about writing the other night and he said he would publish my stuff after I died. I said it was my hope to do it slightly before that but so much of what I write is personal. He said, "I think you write because it is something no one else can control, like dad...You write as a release." I was shocked and blown away that he had such insight for a 17 year old. I shared this with my therapist who said when he does family therapy, the parents are always shocked at how much the kids know.
Thanks for the support, especially since you are struggling yourself.
Hugs,
Daisy
