All my childhood family rows pretty much centred around dinner times.

That line hit me hard. I think it says it all.

Generally, I prefer to eat alone, and I think it's because of those triggers from the past. My intimate partners have said that I seem to resent them enjoying food, and I admit that I have that feeling. I think I know where that resentment comes from.

We need to find a way to nourish ourselves in every sense, to find a space that we can feel comfortable in. My space is after my wife has gone to work and I'm alone in the house. I eat my muesli and honey, drink tea, listen to the radio - just me. It's a good time.

I hope that you can find some space to be in.

Good thoughts to you, Myzen
