Denial.

I got a postcard today from my mother and stepdad's vacation. It's cheery and it completely ignores everything said in the e-mail. This is the first contact she's had with me since I sent the e-mail, and now I see how she's going to play it, denial. Complete denial.

It makes me so angry. I feel like I'm screaming in the dark...

Ordinary things

Today I went out and booked for my car to be inspected, I interacted with the people at the bank and at the city parking office.

I was nervous before I did it but everybody was so nice. I worry about these things so much, so unlike everybody else who appears to find life so easy,

I've had to learn everything in my twenties. The things normal...
So I sent my mother an angry letter about a month ago, saying how upset I was with the manipulation and the way my childhood went generally, even alluding to the abuse from my stepfather. We've never talked about it, and deep down there was a piece of me that wanted to spark a dialogue, even an angry, hurt or in denial response.

Instead...

Starting out...

Was thinking maybe this was a good idea, since I can't afford T and I think perhaps (on my better days I like to thiink so anyway) that I'm doing ok on my own. Just some thoughts I'd like to express sometimes.
