Hard session

Right?!?! No kidding! This is what I told him.....I said, ummmm, please do not feel bad about sending the message that I can't do it myself.....I already know that, so just go right ahead and call!!!! He still hasn't, and I know him...he won't. Hmph

hi sweetlove, i'm glad you worked through all this. i was going through something similar with my therapist with regards to the phone, and felt the same way as you: why hasn't she called to check on me?! my therapist's "policy" is similar to inbloom's, as she's told me she wouldn't want to call and trigger me if i had moved on and was in a better place.

at any rate, i'm glad you got this sorted out.

Haha...I like this I think I'm gonna use this the next time he says something about handling things by myself! Thanks

Yes, I totally understand that now. Before I didn't and was a little offended but once I realized WHY they wouldn't call it makes complete sense. Thank you
He does...it has taken me a while to accept and trust that...but life is so much easier now that I do. Thank you!

I never knew my father, and never (consciously at least) thought about it or what it meant. I met him at age 33 and he died shortly thereafter.

I wrote a poem, "The Fatherless Child"....if anyone is interested. www.soulpoetry.org is my site (it doesn't have that poem on it, but has a few others).

All you can do is grieve and feel grateful for what you had.

Could you write a letter to your dad?

Lots of hugs and Love, Marie
