Sorry guys. I just got into a bit of a rage but im good now (after a nap, lol).

Here Today, your post was very interesting. That would have been great - getting an idea from your own mind (via a voice/message of some sort) that tells you what to do in that situation. Actually getting something from your mind that gives you a direction to go in.. that would be awesome. Congrats on that!!! At least you know you are going in the right direction and not just randomly picking something to try. How did you know (other than what you mentioned) that the T had "broken through" ? Did you get some sort of feeling that was like relief? or horror? or something along those lines?

Hankster: I wouldnt want to be either my mum or my dad, lol. I am unfortunately identical to my dad (when he was at his worst), except I am like the new improved model. You remember The Terminator 2? I am like the new terminator, and dad is like the old terminator. I cannot be destroyed, but I can destroy him. Something like that. Sometimes I think he taught me TOO well! I often think about killing/hurting him but even for me it is a bit disturbing so I try to put it out of my mind or distract myself or whatever. He has mellowed in his old age so I feel guilty and stupid for being angry over something that insignificant, especially since he is a somewhat kindly old man now (as long as you dont live with him or see him regularly). Who wants to hurt a kindly old man?? Crazy.

Stopdog: me too!! I used to put myself in situations where it could occur but I had absolutely no luck. I dunno if its because of my height or what. I am 6 foot tall and live in an area with lots of Asian people so im somewhat taller. But still! Doesn't anyone use a knife these days?? Jeese haha

I sincerely hope not.

At one point, I felt T was trying to destroy my soul (I guess that's what you are talking about), but I'm pretty sure that was the paranoia talking.

I agree!

Pokes you with a stick, yes. But not beats you with a stick, I hope!

Knowing when to challenge and when to support is one of the most difficult decisions a T has to make. And naturally they are sometimes wrong.
