He said, “do an opening post!” Here I go again, so much to say and nothing comes to mind. This’ll happen. I’m gonna start with a little story (a little history one might say). An overture of my life as a child of divorce and drama.
The first feelings I can remember as a child are anxiety and fear…Example: my favorite book as a child was “The Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day.” I related to the main character as a child, and many days throughout the rest of my life. I believe this is part my own mind and part living in a tumultuous household.
Write up a little something about yourself here. Something short and sweet, or longer if you'd like.

I have a similar story. I was close to my dad when he lived with us but when he left when I was 11 we hardly talked after that. I’ve invested a small fortune in therapy and Neil Young was right when he sang about The Needle and The Damage Done.
Know you are not alone.

Sorry so late in saying so, but thank you for your comment. I was never close to my father, but I do remember a few (seriously can count on one hand) good memories with him. I am glad that I can hold onto them. I have also spent a fortune on therapy among numerous rehabs, etc. On a happier note, I have finally started forgiving and understanding my father and his problems after 17 years. I am glad I was able to get to that point. It’s nice to know that you can relate. Thank you! -Cosette
