im back from a hellishly dysfunctional weekend with my parents. lots of lessons learned. thought id take some time off from therapy and all this. but that was enough of a wake up call for me. anyway thanks for all your support guys.
 
It's good to have you back Puppy

sorry the weekend with the family went badly

Mt T repeatedly told me that I need to break off all ties with my dysfunctional family for the whole last year that I was seeing him - thuthfully - I still hav'nt broken the ties 100% - but, I have stepped back away from them a long ways - and it's much healthier that way... - took me a while to learn that - and I'm still learning I guess...

Anyways, just wanted to let you know that I hear ya and share in your pain...

Yeah I'm in the same boat, more or less. My family doesn't feel like my family anymore. Ever since I've moved to Ottawa, I've had a better understanding of multi-cultured environments. I failed to see before, but I see now that half my family are bigots and the other half strongly-opinionated about such matters. (And this is the sugar-coated version.) I just don't relate to them anymore. I never really understood why going down for Christmas wasn't all that big of a deal until I skipped last year's Xmas. I actually felt good on my own in Ottawa. You're probably thinking spending Xmas alone sucks, and maybe you're right, but it honestly didn't even bother me. Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself here.

I just know if I told my family, any members of it, they'd react typically as if it was somehow my fault or that I must have enjoyed it. I just don't feel the need to trap myself in a position where I'd have to defend myself and educate the uneducateable. It would leave me more depleted than before. I just know. Sorry you had to find out the hard way like that, puppy.

We're all here for ya bud.

Welcome back puppy. Sorry the weekend went badly, but as you say, we live and learn. Don't be hard on yourself though; we all have to find our own way, and sometimes we discover the right path by feeling the bumps on the wrong one.

Take care,
Larry
 
Puppy,

I'm sorry that the weekend was bad, but I am glad I guess that it helped you to see some things of what you need right now. I hope that it can 'jump start' some recovery issues for you. I wish you luck, and welcome back.
