We spoke of innocuous and inconsequential things (other than Susie staying at your house) and I feel now I should have detected something different in your voice - but I didn't either because I truly couldn't hear anything or the distraction of people around me wouldn't let me hear. Either way, I totally understand and empathize with your struggles - some I can't help with, others, maybe. <br /><br />But my lifetime did not have such catastrophic events as yours did, yet the fears are there, as blatant and colorful as yours are and I do wonder why, especially since I had a fairly normal???? childhood/teenhood. Beginning and ending marriage wasn't so uneventful--wifebeating, mental abuse, the abuse on you--- maybe they've taken a larger toll on my psyche than I am aware. Or choose to be aware. Your self-worth always seems to so iron-clad - or at least that's what I see - someone whom I envy with your assuredness in your decisions, choices and the ability to live with so much love in and around you. <br /><br />I want to wrap my arms around you and soothe away all your fears and abstract anxiety--that's what mothers do. But I can't either because I'm not there at the time, I don't know about them, or they have too strong a hold on you that they are impervious to a mother's need to protect and preserve. I fear I'm not strong enough - maybe you are the stronger one. I hope so and I believe it is so. You will deal with these demons in the best way you believe, whether from an outside source, an internal prescription, or just time and perseverance.<br /><br />I love you so much Kritter---stay strong and your heart will win.<br /><br />MomMom/Miminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345768262680598736.post-69199531937697222942012-10-29T08:24:00.083-07:002012-10-29T08:24:00.083-07:00now i know why you understood what i just wrote.

The hardest part is that...Yes. Just yes. And hugs. <br />The hardest part is that it's always there somewhere, I find. The possibility of it coming through, the blasted depression and panic attacks and anxiety, is terrifying and so real.
