John,

I think I read your post 3 times! Probably not easy for you to put it all down in writing, but I’m glad you did. There must have been a lot of confusion for you as a boy, and still as a grown man. Your parents failed you miserably.

I have a few questions. (Answer them only if you want to.)

1) Is your mom still living and are you in contact with her today?

2) Do you talk with your sister regularly?

3) When you had those 6 sessions of therapy, did you share all of the above with your therapist?

4) How did you “get your sh#% together” at age 26, and what happened after that? You’re in your 40’s or 50’s now, right?

Thanks,

B
