Watched the movie Antwone Fisher this evening.
Some very relevent stuff re: SA and recovery. The story is fact based.

Also a really great poem -

"Who will cry for the little boy, lost and all alone?
Who will cry for the little boy, abandoned without his own?
Who will cry for the little boy? He cried himself to sleep.
Who will cry for the little boy? He never had for keeps.
Who will cry for the little boy? He walked the burning sand.
Who will cry for the little boy? The boy inside the man.
Who will cry for the little boy? Who knows well hurt and pain.
Who will cry for the little boy? He died and died again.
Who will cry for the little boy? A good boy he tried to be.
Who will cry for the little boy, who cries inside of me?"
 
I watched to movie and could relate to a lot of it. Too bad SA cannot be solved in 2 hours.

This was a really good movie. As it says it could change the lives of some people.

I saw it last night and was struck by the SA. Seems it resonated deeply and personally with me; however, it was so quick and fleeting a memory, like when your life flashes before your eyes during a near death experience. Since discovering my abuse with my father, and being honest with myself, I find myself welling up with emotion when I see or hear about people hurt. This is something new for me.

The memory flashed to a time I was sent to vacation with close family friends, my mind went to the mother in that family. I'd not thought about her or that vacation in a long time, if ever. I kind of remember being homesick and wanting to go home. Seems, also, right after that vacation our families had a fight and went their separate ways, but I'm not sure at this point as it's a track I've just begun exploring.

I want to know more why Ive not had the opportunity to live a sharing, fulfilling life.

Happy Memorial day everyone. Buy a poppy for yourselves and our veterans.

In the aftermath of SA, some of us tend to shut down emotionally. Part of the healing process is an awakening of our emotions and allowing ourselves to become more vulnerable to other people's feelings.

Peace, Andrew
 
MEC, you are living a sharing life here--you share intimate feelings with us. I hope it is fulfilling for you, it is for us. Thanks for sharing and being willing to listen to and support us.

Thanks Bob,
Too many years of not knowing about it has done devastating things to me, over and over again. I caught myself last night thinking of something stupid I did more than 20 years ago. Things I have desired were denied me; not the least of which was a security clearance because of all my acting out from the conflict inside me that I never could figure out or accept.

Today, it is such a welcome relief to be able to acknowledge the reason at the root of my problems, know that I'm a GOOD person, capable of doing all I want to do, able to give away the garbage I felt I was. I'm no longer confused nor uncertain - there is an ANSWER, all the pieces now fit. THAT'S empowering, to me at least.

Thanks for accepting the vile part of me as a 'gift'. MS and y'all have been a gift to me. I am honestly grateful! Going on about two weeks since any form of depression. Actually, that's a lie: minor depression last week, but it was brief. Better than that is I recognized it is not a fleeting manic state.
