Sad today

I am sad today

I am sad for that lost little girl

I am sad for the lost years

I am sad that I can't tell anyone

Sad that if I did tell someone they wouldn't understand or believe me

I am sad that even though I have a loving husband and three beautiful children that I can feel so completely alone sometimes

I am sad that there are so...

It sucks!

I had that stupid flashback or body memory, whatever you want to call it about my dad again. I hate it when it comes up like that, it is so real. Usually, I don't feel much about it. I know it happened, I just don't have the feelings that go along with it. But when it comes up this way, so do all the feelings and the thoughts I had at the...

At my work my lunch break is later than others. There are four others that are in the break room roughly about the same time as me. I do not know them very well. We are always very friendly to one another when we get a chance to see each other, but I don't associate with them other than work. The room is pretty small, I was talking to one of...

Still can't talk about it

Think I have gotten so far and then I freeze up with a question my husband asked me. I was explaining the retreat to him, and how I think that it would be good for me to go. He know about Pandys, I talk about it like it is just matter of fact, I like speak around it if that makes since. He knows that at sometime in my life I was assaulted. I had...
We helped my mom move last weekend and me and my sister were going through old photos and dividing them. There were not many photos of me when I was a little girl, but plenty of my sisters. When my dad and mom divorced they divided the photo albums. My sister said that my dad kept all the ones with me in them because "I was always his...
Sometimes I like to read past postings, just to see where I have been along this journey. It is strange to read some of the things I have written. Sometimes I get very angry at what I have wrote. I know that I shouldn't, but I do not like it when that needy part of me comes out, I feel like it is absolutely pathetic. I have gotten better at...

Seperating my two fathers

My mother left my father when I was 10 years old, she got back with a few times before she eventually called it quits. Afterward I didn't see him for years, but because of another assault, and being miserable with my mother I moved back in with him when I was 16 for a year. My father was very violent, dangerously violent, but only with my...
