not sure what to make of all this

May 31, 2002 13:19

My dad has never laid a hand on me. My mom was the disciplinarian. I think he kicked me in the butt one time in Yosemite when we were hiking and I was being all pissy, and then when I was 13 he threatened to knock all my teeth out, while he screamed in my face. But other than that, he pretty much avoids conflict ( Read more... )

I'm so sorry! I do think you need a break.. Your mom can come visit you and Simone if she wants to see you. I know that in the past year you have been getting along well with your dad and I'm so sorry he acted that way. He has no excuse.Let me know if you need anything.

Thank you, honey. I'm okay, but I do think major lines need to be drawn and a big seperation needs to be made. My mom will deal if she knows what's best.

i am not sure if i can be of any help at all, but maybe my experiences will at least give you something to think on, even if just for a moment ( ... )

You *do* rock!!! I am sooo proud of you for you standing up to your Dad. You are a very strong woman, and you know what you need to do. You have my total respect & admiration. More women should be like you!

You're right, I've been there.

You did the right thing. You got it out all out in the open and now you just need to focus on your family. You, the little girl, and your man. It sucks sometimes. But that's what the life journey is all about and in my small opinion, I think you did the right thing.

Plus, dammit, don't you just FEEL lighter? Like a load has been lifted? I understand, I've been there.

You defended yourself and your family, and that is good ( ... )

Half-Gifts

It's an old game my love:
When you can't have me you want me because you know
That you're not risking anything

Intimacy's why we're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel and who we really are

That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking

Well I'm still a junky for it
It takes me out of my aloneness
But this relationship cannot sustain itself

Intimacy's why we're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel and who we really are

That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking

I just have to know
How to be in the process of
Creating things in a better light
And it hurts but it's a lie that I can't handle it.
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill

I still care about this planet
I am still connected to nature
And to my dreams for myself

I have my friends, my family
I have myself
I still have me
