Fan letter draft...over the top? 1 day ago

Okay you guys, you think this is a good idea, here’s what I came up with…. jkd

Two years ago (3?) you played at the Nelson, NH library annex. We hadn’t seen you for a long time and were glad that you’d come to New Hampshire.

You played “Forgive Us” and changed my life. Long sad story, which I will not tell you, but when you sang that, it seemed to be my parents, and to all intents and purposes, I’d been raised only by my Dad, and he hired my parenting out to camps, doctors, housekeepers, etc.

I know the song has nothing to do with families, but I needed to tell you that you gave me a huge gift. You gave me my parents, as a couple, something I’d never known. You have no idea how weird it was,or how grafeful I am. It healed a wound so old I’d forgotten it actually hurt.

Thank you—

Get through family parts therapy... 1 day ago

I have a HUGE resistance to this, which tells me that I need it. I’ve been pushing and explaining and trying to feel comfortable in therapy ever since we started this.

Okay folks…hear ye…hear ye! I’m a fake. Well, sort of!

For most of 50 years or so I’ve been faking it in therapist’s offices. Not that this is new, but what IS new is that here is someone, the same woman who helped me get through the PTSD, saying, here, try this, I think it will change the residue.

And I believe her. I’m scared spitless, or maybe worse.

I don’t know who I am if I’m not that wounded little girl

I have spent HOURS AND HOURS trying to get her to stop hurting. (It never worked)

So, we’re going to try again? [There is a part of me that is saying, “Oh please God, No! Not again.”] All I can do is trust and try and get myself to jump off that cliff.

Not easy.
