Dear cali sister:

I am looking forward to you continuing, writing more and hope you are feeling better.

You wrote that after hearing your mother on the phone for five minutes, “I was unable to recover from the poison for.. hours.. it took me a while to get out of the funk.” That was Saturday, two days before you posted the above, a post that ended with “it is making me feel overwhelmed.”

This is why healing has to include no  longer taking in any of the poison, not one second of it. This is why no contact with the offending party is necessary. Don’t you think?
