To fight for them.<br /><br />Dan,<br /><br />You're right. I was being incredibly hard on myself. I reacted in an expected way.<br /><br />And, yes, I developed adaptions based on my life, on my father, on surviving. And now I need to find ones that work for who I want to be and implement them past all the fears.<br /><br />I'm working on being fine. Let's see how that goes.Poetry of Fleshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871932715491205605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186930289760870447.post-51725856729017907472009-12-29T10:52:52.641-08:002009-12-29T10:52:52.641-08:00Sounds like it's been an unpredictable few day...Sounds like it's been an unpredictable few days. If such things were going on in my life, I wouldn't want to talk to my father either. From my perspective, any fear, uncertainty, and anxiety is as normal and healty a reaction as you can get.<br /><br />And for what it's worth, I don't think you ARE broken.<br /><br />There seems to be this idea in our culture that there are things wrong with people and they need to be 'fixed.'<br /><br />I don't see it that way--at least not in my better moments.<br /><br />You were dealt a hand. You adapted as best you could given the way you understood the world.<br /><br />Now those adaptations aren't working. That doesn't make them bad. It just means circumstances have changed. You want something different for yourself.<br /><br />You are a survivor. You will be fine. Maybe you already are--whether you realize it consciously or not.Dan_Brodribbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026291343082142533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186930289760870447.post-61711188833811548122009-12-29T08:26:08.808-08:002009-12-29T08:26:08.808-08:00Maybe your friend is right taking it slow with sch...Maybe your friend is right taking it slow with school, one class a semester for a while. Focusing on finding an apartment. You need a place that's yours, and you deserve it too. You will be able to pour yourself into school much more when you're safe.<br /><br />The need to live, to be healthy...these are your rights as a human being. It may have taken a hard road to find them, but it seems you're on your way to claiming them.<br /><br />You're in my thoughts.hmla2599https://www.blogger.com/profile/13059799766743811221noreply@blogger.com
