Hi my ((((((((((((fuzzy)))))))))))))) friend

I'm sorry you have all these confusions going round in your head. It must be pretty tiring. Sorry I had to stop talking this afternoon - I wish I could have stayed...

I'm familiar with the running away feeling, but maybe it isn't running away so much as redrawing the boundaries you (and Lucy) need to keep safe.

From what you have said it sounds like your former therapist was in some ways harmful to you. I wish you could find a kind one as I am sure they could help you.

When someone shouts at me or is abusive, I find it hard to learn from any criticism

I think this is true for most people. It certainly is for me. I struggle with any criticism, however expressed, as I take it way too personally and see it as a criticism of ME rather than of something I have done. But I don't think anyone deserves to be shouted at or abused - I don't shout at my students in school (unless I need to raise my voice to get the whole class' attention) and I certainly don't do it with adults.

I want you to feel yu can belong anywhere that can help you. If the DID forum can't help you, fine, but if you think posting there can help then I think you should. I am not sure if I belong there either, but it is helping me and it seems to be where LC can say things most easily.

This was a brave post, Fuzzy, and I am glad you made it.
