so just and thanks for posting this.

lol, you know I read this, and thought to myself, "how can one feel nothing towards those who hurt them?" I donno, lol, I guess I blanked out or something on that. Went to do this dishes, and then had a "doh!" moment lol:

If a person was never allowed to express anger safely, how can one even bother with anger, for fear of punishment or more conflict? I'm not sure if this is the reason you feel nothing towards those who hurt you, but it would make sense. It made me post a personal note to myself in the "coping with emotions" section....one of my friends has let me talk through a lot of why I'm angry;

you gotta find a safe person in your life who says stuff too you like (just for example...) "you talk an awful lot about how you hurt me, have I ever hurt you?" And then that person needs to validate your anger....I think overtime that helps, I am not knowing lol.
