Dear Samantha:

I am glad you are heart symptom free… Keep calm best you can and take good care of yourself!

I was wondering about your writing earlier that you have a great relationship with your mother. Was that always so, including when you were a child, during the years you were traumatized and victimized by your father and grandfather?

What was the nature of your relationship with her when you were a child and did it change?

In the last post you wrote: “I do believe deeply rooted in people is goodness”- I believe that people are born good and are good as young children. And that all throughout a person’s life, that child that was is still there, in that person’s psyche, always there until one’s last breath. Problem is with many, is that an adult part of the psyche, one to develop over time after early childhood, takes over and imprisons the child. So the good child is there, and you can see it in everyone if you look, especially if you live with them, but you can’t trust the person to be good. That good child existed in every serial killer in history, be it in True Crime stories or in Hitler bringing about the suffering and death of millions.

Regarding the last boyfriend, you are anxious about the possibility that he will contact you, is that what you are worried about? Would you be calmer if you knew he will not contact you?
