Dear joanna:
An after thought: we are no different than other animals except that unlike other animals our parents are often the threat in our lives. That complicates things because we are stuck for years with a threat. We don’t run away and escape it and we don’t fight it and eliminate the threat. We stay with it and survive it best we can, but not well. Because the fear and the anger are not resolved for many years of living with the threat, these linger and remain, often for the rest of a person’s life.
My anger was resolved first, a few years after not having contact with her. Unfortunately, my fear is still ongoing, my anxiety, that is. Healing is still in progress, still happening in this regard, daily, this very morning as I type this to you.
