my T gave me homework. A letter of closure to my mom who's been dead a long time. I started today.I was four years old. and I still can't forgive her. The letter left me exhausted and frankly haunted. I relived a betrayal that i did not earn. and it really shook me. Scared me too because I felt physically ill when I finished that incident...I was going to do more but. I don't know now. I never expected to be so done in by something I wrote. And my god the rage I felt. oh what a waste. cockeyed.

That's is so sad CE.To go back and feel the things that so affected our lives, to face those things and feel those feelings is so painful and ovewhelming sometimes.
I am sorry your Mom died and left you. So very sorry.

I'm sorry for what you've been through cockeyed.
I have found that writing does me good in the long run. It can be so painful when you're doing it, and for a long while after, but it seems like you work through so much when you actually write it out.It sounds like this T will really help you work things out. Hope you don't have to wait too long till next appt. Does the T want to see what you've written?
How are you doing with the drinking? I hope you're getting some help with that. I know you've said there's been a lot of pain assoc. with that.
