Dear calisister:

I didn’t know you posted yesterday because it did not reflect under Topics. When you submit, see if your name shows under Topics and if not do the corrective post as you did a moment ago, that corrects it for me every time.

Notice, calisister, your tendency, a strong tendency to express your distress as always happening, every moment of every day, as you did on this thread, repeatedly. In reality, your distress is not always, not every moment of every day. When you find yourself expressing your distress to others in the future, avoid the always, avoid the exaggeration. That will be responsible sharing.

Remember my point about not overwhelming your sister with your sharing? This is one way to do that, to not exaggerate.

Do you think you might be exaggerating your distress when you share with others, in other ways, so to get their full attention?

Regarding May last year, if you would like, will you tell me what happened when your parents arrived to the home of your friend?

This line of exploration here may be difficult for you to participate in, and of course it is your choice if you do, or not. You can stop it anytime.

I believe it can be very useful for you though, and so, I hope that you will continue with it.
