Rachel thank you for making me feel like a human being, you and I are struggling w/ the same thing and reading your post made me see you are a good person, so I'm sure I am too.
The answers made it all so simple and solvable. So I sent the lady a brief, honest email, letting the chips fall where they may, and didn't make any hard and fast promises but hinted that she might see me in church Sunday, she's a practitioner there, and the church is good, it's one of my resources but I hardly ever use it, but we'll see.
I don't care for John Bradshaw, but right now I'm in one of his goddamn shame spirals. I do love Leo Bascaglia, and I know what he'd say about shame spirals, people are good when you tell them what's going on, tell them and their hearts will open. It's when they can't fathom your bullshit they tend to get nasty. It makes so much sense. And since I can't keep my lies straight anymore, maybe GETTING REAL (barf) ok, a little more real (that's better) might get me back some version of respect or accountability, something.
thanks,
trouble
