The only emotion that was safe to express in my family was humor. And that isn't even an emotion. There's a very good book that you probably wouldn't want your family to see you reading. (So go to the library and read it. A win-win situation) It's called Running on Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect by Jonice Webb Ph.D. I sure got a lot out of it.
