I just found out that my mother is getting married again to another loser druggie/alcoholic like herself mirery loves company except I'm glad I don't live with them cause all her boyfreinds used to mess with me then she would get mad cause they didn't want to bother with her just mess with me.I dont know why I would hide when I knew she was gonna be comming home last call in N.Y. is 4 am and I knew the travelling time from the bar to home (about10min) I hated to be there, we wouldve had to share a room for 7 or 8 years while waiting for a 2 bedroom apt.but I never made past 4 months I stayed in the shelter system rather then live with that woman.I was homeless on and on for almost 10 years asking her for help is signing a death certificate. I spent most of today journerling I have been doing that for years,Feeling worse after writing most of the day and am following advice I read instead of being impulsive ripping up paper really worked for me but I still feel spacey and stuff and I'm scared to go to sleep cause of bad dreams sounds (silly huh?) thank you

It sounds like you have decided to make different decisions for yourself than your mother makes in her life. Good for you!!! How old are you now, Tita? You don't have to answer unless you want to. You sound like you have learned a lot of life's lessons the hard way.

You really have gone through some things in your life. Journalling is an excellent way for me to cope and sort through things. If it is working for you it is an excellent way to acknowledge emotions and thoughts, however, f rom your post I am not sure if it is helping you or not. I too have trouble sleeping at times due to bad dreams and no that is not silly. Keep trying positive things to do. Paper ripping is a good idea if it works. Please take care of you.

I'm really glad that journaling has worked so well for you. I used to rip up paper, too. It worked for awhile. As long as my hands were busy I wouldn't cut.

Hang in there.
