saw a tv story about neglect and has just left me so sad and upset. just reminds me that i was emotionally neglected. reminds me that i HATE the mother so much for all the social and attachment problems i have today. just reminds me how defective i am in basic people stuff. its like every time i get a reminder like this its like i have to grieve what i never got all over again. and i hate it so much because its so hard to say this is what she did wrong this is what she did to me. because its all about what she DIDN'T do and its so hard for me to know because i don't know what was missing. just a big vague empty hole.

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.
