Hang in there Lurpy. Good luck w/T, and remember, baby steps....
Its OK to take a break and work on strengths for a bit.
It OK to just walk away and pretend there's nothing going on for a bit. To shove it away until your a bit stronger.
If you can that is. Sometimes it just seems to boil up and its time to come out.
Sorta like barfing. It just is. There's not stopping it.
But no matter what, remember you the same Lurpy. You just telling your story to better understand how you can deal with some of your behaviours etc. To take the power of the pain away. To bring it into the light where it can be examined and the truth revealed. That it was sh*tty and it was....and .... etc. BUT, it was not the fault of the kid. The kids responses were that of a KID. The adult(s) in the situation were sick, unwell. And thats the way the world is. Bad things DO happen. But what we need to do is deal with them to the best extent that we are able, then for that which we cannot change...learn to let it go.
We cope, we keep going, and the bad patches pass, and we move on until the next challenge.
You can do this Lurpy.
I wrote this for myself as much as anything I think.
Sigh.
I talk a good line, but I don't follow my own advice....
Take care,
