Well... an apology. It's been almost three weeks but does your therapist help families? Because... from what you've shared elsewhere... you family has had generational issues (I read about Tammy). Your brother and his boyfriend may benefit from therapy, as might any other siblings and cousins.
"It takes a village" is a wise phrase; but, what if the village is toxic?
I understand how strict leasing folks can be, so I hope you, Rick and your daughter can come up with a truly workable solution. I'm very glad your psych was able to get you back on track, meds-wise.
I'm sorry that things have been so difficult for you lately, and I can definitely identify with the anxiety of being in Los Angeles and seeing what's going on here. But I'm glad you're doing the things you need to do (therapy, taking the time to write, etc.) to get through it!
We are out own worst enemies. Well...us and Rick's bitchy ex.
Recently having had my diagnosis of depression upgraded to bipolar II with depressive something- or- other, I understand and appreciate what you mean about: "Oh THAT'S why I do that!" Now if I could only put that knowledge to good use. *eyeroll*
It's hard to stand and not run (or crawl inside, which is my safety coping mechanism). But you're standing. I guess it's kinda like AA: you're standing today, and that's the best you can do. Tomorrow, you'll do the best you can.
I have a feeling you'll do even a little bit better than today.
That...seems a bit off, at least to me. I'm also surprised Rick didn't mention an NDA. As someone who works with data that falls under HIPPA protection, I have been forthcoming with my husband of what I can/cannot share with him.
I am won't to piss and moan about the house I live in. There's a lot of problems with it. But there's a lot of people that would LIVE to have a house with problems, because it beats having no house at all.
Your perseverance keeps people like me humble.
I hope we are very soon reading of your successes again, my friend.
I wish that I had to patience to do all of the steps to prepare the fabulous meal you described. This sounded and I/m sure) tasted like a masterpiece.
I do cook but someone always puts their foot in their mouth by saying I used the phone to call for something like take out, instead of the actual work.
My thought is BRAVO! Your husband and his son were treated to a meal that would be declared 'fit for a king!'
The instructions were clear. You shared your step by step work. You made it sound easy. The whole thing would motivate someone to try to cook as well.
Thanks for sharing. And I might have to try some dish like that in the future. I have enough cook books so that could be easy.
I had planned on writing a more lengthy journal entry, UNTIL I came upon a news story about a Palestinian official at a hearing, SOBBING as he delivered this statistic- 930,000 CHILDREN have been MURDERED by Israel.
Let that sink in. 930,000 CHILDREN whose blood is on the hands of Israel and everyone who has supported this genocide.
f*** politics. This goes far beyond politics. Whole families burned alive. There is ZERO justification for this.
If I let my mind settle on this, I find myself in the depths of despair.
