> We talked some last night, she came over and brought the movie: Little Miss Sunshine. I had no idea what this movie was about! We talked about why I didn't think the end was "cute" like most people do - sexualizing a young child is not funny to me. My friend told me I was too sensitive, and I agreed with her. But I am, so there we are.
I've never seen this movie, so can't comment on the ending, but I do understand what you mean. And I think that's perfectly okay that you had a different feeling about the end. I think I would too. I find that I'm becoming increasing "sensitive" to movies and society viewpoints. I think I'm quietly appalled at a lot of the things put forward as "entertainment". Sometimes I feel sad to be part of this society.
> It was a good jumping off point for a discussion though and I think she understands more why I've chosen this type of in-depth therapy.
Well done Daisy. Another good step towards protecting yourself and standing up for your younger parts. You did so well. I'm glad she's gained a clearer understanding. Regardless of whether she agrees with it or not, hopefully she would be more supportive and understanding of you next time you need her help.
> Blah - it was hard though. I just want people to instantly understand and not challenge me on anything right now. I feel like the walking wounded.Yes, it is very hard. I find the hardest part in these things is tolerating the vulnerability that comes with exposing/opening and then continuing to stand up in the face of disagreement. I'm glad it went well. You deserve a soothing comforting rest after that (you could always stop off at camp comfort if you like - I hear there's some real pretty flowers there you can pick and put in a little vase on your windowsill and they have nice soft window seats so you can curl up there and just watch the garden go by).
Be gentle with yourself.
