You know, I was thinking that maybe I am okay. It is just the crazy relatives that cause me great pain. Maybe they are the ones that need therapy, not me! lol
Is it normal to feel just normal? lol What is normal anyways? lol Sorry just pondering the meaning of why the heck I am in therapy. :)
Maybe I should just move on and try to live for the future and forget the past. The future looks much better than the past. Who would want to live or think about my past. I think I will live for the future instead.
SO THERE CRAZY DEMENTED FAMILY! TAKE THAT!!!!! YOU LOSE, I WIN, I AM NOT GOING TO LET THEM TAKE ME DOWN WITH THEM!!!!!! :)

I think if you can manage not to let your past influence your present in negative ways that would be absolutely wonderful.
And yes, I sometimes feel that way. Sometimes my therapist tells me I'm the only sane one in my family (my son obviously excepted).
Other times he tells me I have unusual ways of viewing the world. He doesn't like to use the term "nuts".

You seem very normal to me, so it must be them, and from what I've heard in your posts, I'd guess you're right. If the future looks good, go for it!

I have also felt you are a very normal person. If you want, go to therapy and have fun with your good looking T :-), and maybe learn some good things, but other than that, I don't really think anything is wrong with you. For all that you endured, you are amazingly strong and happy.. I admire you.

Chuckle. I've gotten *idiosyncratic* from both this T. and ex-T.
Ex-T. may or may not have been thinking "nuts," but I did accuse him of that at least once that I recall. He turned a little red, then muttered some weak explanation.(Ha...caught ya'!)
At least this one admits he likes the big "I" word, because to him, it can just mean "different" which is more benign than "odd," "weird," etc.
He can be pretty honest when I press him.
And he knows I don't mind or disagree with any of those terms to describe some of my stuff, anyway.What's so bad about being a little nuts?
