just because you don't see me cry, doesn't mean i don't cry

[tashabear]

Watching the most recent episode of Bones, and Booth is judging a parent who just lost his child because of his lack of reaction. I can totally relate to the guy who had a flat reaction, and I feel like I was judged by my former in-laws because I wasn't all sad, all the time, while Wolfie was sick and after he died. Worry and grief are exhausting,

I know what you mean. When you are too drained or dazed, flat is the coping mechanism. Hugs from afar.

*hugs and hugs* i don't think the grief ever really completely goes away...the 25th will be 7 years and fallcon's passing is not any better for me.

and i'm still sorry you had to lose your Wolfie at *all*...not to mention that your former in-laws are just assholes.

They can be. Basically, though, they didn't get either of us, and weren't evolved? mature? adult enough to just accept the fact that we are/were weird. I don't think they meant to be hurtful; they just weren't capable of recognizing that I cop(ed) differently. Of course, they were confused by the lack of a traditional wedding, so that should have been some clue.
