He doesn't really want you if he didn't leave his wife.
Her moaning about Joe at the end annoyed me.
Like you have been bonding with so many people.
Crying over Ian too.
Sheesh, what a a wet blanket at the end, trying to make people who go "No Contact" with their parents, feel guilty.
No, they aren't just abusive because they were raised to be abusive.
They are abusive because they got everything they needed, plus too much, ie validated in pretending that they didn't get everything they needed.
Swear, I hate the therapists that try to make you believe Parental Responsibility is anything other than a one way street.
"Tried their best," they will say when they know fine rightly if the kid did the competition back, they'd suddenly know it was wronf THEN wouldn't they?
Do you know one of the most privileged things is an Emotional Support Network?
Like she has so many people being her Emotional Support Network that I struggled to care about any of the struggles she was telling me she definitely struggled with.
She fucked Vicky's husband AND didn't regret it.
REFUSED to regret it because of what it brought her, not the outcome of her choices.
Sorta hard to relate to her.
She reminds me of why Girl Bosses, White Women and Eldest Daughters are the Final Bosses of Capitalism and Patriarchy.
This book covers many topics about difficulties in relationships. Some will resonate, some won't. However it gives some insight to what some people have to deal with. I suppose it is possible there are those out there who do encounter more than one or two of these situations. I think if like the MFC you would be very unlucky to meet so many. Particularly interesting for me is that she worked in an neurosurgery unit, something I did many years ago, and understand the consequences of severe brain trauma. Also the understanding of health professionals macabre sense of humour helping to cope with the job. All in all an interesting read.
There is life after divorce. There's love after divorce! Divorce has a grieving process, too! Everyone has baggage, but it's what you do with it, that will determine your happiness. You don't need others to get validation or love. Psychotic personalities prey on good people. And yes, there are actually evil people out there that will con and manipulate you to benefit themselves. Be careful and wary. These are just some of the lessons I learned from this book, as well as Kinz's other awesome book! Loved the poetry and music links, too!
