V, I love this quote from you:

" I need to stop sitting down at the table with nada, playing a card

game she designed, using a marked deck... " . Great way to put it........!!

Finally I've had some quality time to respond!

Thanks for the thoughts Annie. Helpful. New steps in being a full-fledged,

card-carrying adult. It is very true that only I can figure out what will work

for me. Yet, I know that talking things over with others who have had similar

problems, is an essential part of becoming healthy. Too much I have done on my

own, too creatively, too emphatically And so I shall keep reaching out.

After all, my mom rang again this morning, and at some point I need to answer or

write a note, telling her of my intentions. I may be rocking the boat, but the

boat already has leaks. I want to finally give myself permission NOT to be

afraid to point out where the leaks are, and that I need to take a spiritual

health break.

I need to stop sitting down at the table with nada, playing a card game she

designed, using a marked deck!

Thanks again for caring enough to read. I know responses only come when folks

feel a person's post speaks to their needs. So, obviously this thread was just

for me, and I can accept that's where I am in the bell-curve of needs being

expressed here.

Blessings..
