when I was 32

When I was 32
I was sitting at the breakfast table in the kitchen with mom and dad.
"You were the most difficult child we had," dad said.
My heart seized up. I suddenly felt like I was sinking into grief and that seemed beyond reason.
"Come on, that’s too incredible to believe Dad, since I know my sisters! You mean even harder than Pam running away from home and being found in a young mans bed? Or Nan cutting her throat for her second suicide attempt? Or how about Kelly getting drunk, crashing the car and then attempting to kill herself with sleeping pills? Come on Dad!"

"because you needed the most love to make up for all these other tragedies..."


We can only hope.

My mother and father had the most important relationship then we (wee) children came next as peripheral players.
I felt like a bit player in my own life.

I have grown and learned. I have been in therapy all my adult life. Because each of these experiences was a truama, EMDR worked to give me a new look on life....I am a much happier person now.
thank you for asking.
