“I was lucky that my parents really didn't care what I did. I was lucky that their bedroom was across the upstairs landing, with the bathroom on my side of the house so they couldn't hear me hop in the shower every night regardless of the time.

“Probably not.  I like to do things on my own."   "Yes.  I am well aware of your rather obsessive independence."  Oh, good. Obsessive?   "I'm not obsessive about it.  I just find it easier to do things for myself, rather than be disappointed when..."   "Disappointed when you are let down, and/or betrayed?  Am I right?"    "You know you're right.  Please... please don't play games with me," I beg.   I don't like this at all.   "Oh, Sweetheart... I'm not playing games with you.  I'm listening to what you do and don’t say and repeating it back to you.  I want you to hear all I hear.  I want you to see all I see.  Remember, I'm just learning you, but you have known yourself always.  Therefore, I am a fresh perspective to all you know, say, and feel.  Do you understand what I'm trying to give to you?"    "I know when you give back to me my own words; I don't like to hear them.  I sound pathetic.  I sound like a loser.  I never thought I was a loser, until all of this and I hate it.  I hate the way you see me.  I'm embarrassed that I'm essentially, completely transparent. I don't like this game, anymore."  I feel so sad suddenly.”

“I love pain because it can be measured.  Just like time and numbers.  Pain is either really bad, or not so much.  Like a one to ten scale.  I can gauge anything on a one to ten scale.  Pain is always measured, and it always feels less painful afterward.  I just remind myself of that when I'm in pain.  The memory of the pain is never as painful as the pain was.  And I've never hit a 10 yet.  There were a few 8.5's, and even a 9 once, but never a 10. Ten is unbearable pain.  I bear pain.  I can always bear pain.  I can bear this pain.”
