Trev,
I think that's a natural reaction bro. A lot of things have happened, and that's a lot to be sad about. Just remember that there's a big difference between sad and hopeless. If you can, try not to think of everything at once. It would be a lot for any survivor to process, and sometimes it's better for us to try to focus on smaller issues and things we can manage now or in the near future. If we dwell on the whole picture it's very easy to feel overwhelmed.
Much love,
Larry

NO WAY dude, you're our new pit bull on the DB. You're angry and you have every right to be.
Why would I tell you to go away when, although you're not so gentleman-like in the way you articulate your feelings, I always look at your posts?
I read them because you're saying what many of us survivors needed to say to our parents, about our abuse, etc.
You have a unique way of approching our common problems, you're not an idiot, be proud of how you are different.

Trev,
You are so right, of course. It ISN'T fair. But that's part of the reason why we get angry, as you are doing. Don't blame yourself if you have a lot of anger to express.
Much love,
Larry

Trev,
That's how it feels now, but one thing you will learn is that it IS possible to express your anger without being physically destructive. I'm not saying it's something you will figure out in a day, but you will learn this just as you are learning so many other things.
Much love,
Larry

Hey, when are the first pre-season games? Do you know?
Hey Trevor,
I use to have a heavy bag that I would whack. It let me vent a lot of anger while getting a workout. Something to think about.
Anyone using a heavy bag should learn to wrap their hands to prevent injury but even hitting the bag unwrapped is better for one's hands than hitting walls, cars, glass doors, heads, etc.
