Thanks Sunny,
I never really considered that I respond differently than others, but I guess amidst the hiding my self from others, I've learned some pretty bizarre ways of "being". When I hear about physical types of abuse, and am outraged by that, I see that as worse than what I went through. I figure, as an adult, I should just be able to "buck up", and "get over it". It seem so wimpy and self absorbed to me for me to feel bad about this, even though I do have anger and sadness that my parents were not the loving, nurturing people who could have taught me to love and accept myself.
I'm hoping that this time therapy will be different, really productive, and help me live a more fulfilling life.
Thanks for your words of wisdom,
FW
