ATAT - it is good when one can rail at them about their horrible profession.

It always felt like neverland (or the twilight zone) when I was at an appointment with the woman.

Is she careless and self-centred?

The conversation with my pottery tutor yesterday went as well as could be expected, I think. I received the assurance that it won't happen again, which I am finding hard to believe. Once I explained the reasons why medical matters are so triggering for me, the unsolicited advice began. 'You shouldn't have opened them [the emails full of medical information]. You should have got someone else to open them and delete them.'
Due to the complexity of the relationship, I couldn't imagine ever doing that...even though it was hard, I felt like I had to stick around.

Funny, I was actually thinking the same thing! Perhaps it's time he gets elevated to just...T? And T1 becomes ex-T.

Oh man, I got whomped flat by grief last night. I'd been having such a good holiday break from everything and then I remembered it was a year ago Thanksgiving that my surviving parent took a one way ticket to crazy town that ended with a spectacular crisis on Christmas Day. How does the mind forget something like that and then decide to release all the memories at once? Grief is so strange.
I recently attended a book reading about having a parent with mental illness and it felt so good to hear what someone else went through. My therapist suggested reading more books about this topic, but I don't know any. |

Rebecca Solnit's 'The Faraway Nearby' -- she starts off with her mother's mental illness and then meditates on a number of other (related) things as well. There are a few other books as well -- I'll sift through my noodle (am still not sufficiently caffeinated) and let you know if anything else worthwhile pops in. |

rr, I hesitate somewhat to offer this rec -- it's rather intense and Karr's writing (of which I'll admit I'm not a great fan) doesn't help alleviate it. Go slow if you decide to read this, is what I'd say. There's one other book that I'm trying to remember -- if I recall correctly, it's a memoir by a gay man who moved back (from NYC or some such place) to the Midwest to take care of his mother and how their (rather fraught) relationship got transformed towards the end. If I can find it, I'll pass it on. |

How could I forget about the Russian ambassador? He spikes the coffee with vodka, btw.

AY--thanks so much for the book recommendations. I love a well written memoir. One of my all time favorites is Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight. I might read that again too.

I think the celebration of winter solstice isn't based on violence. It probably takes getting away from religious and secular observances to find more peaceful celebrations.

That wasn't the point I was originally making but perhaps not untrue. I don't know. I have my doubts - I believe that if one tried hard enough - one could find some way to make someone into victims over anything= that was my point.
