Dear Laurie:

“I am a screwed up woman, aren’t I?”, no, not to me, not in my understanding. Just hurt, angry, lonely. Gone through life for too long without love, then experienced some of it, then gone.. and what you have is just not adequate. A demanding boss who focuses on what you do not do, not on the whole lot that you do… well, this doesn’t make a very functional, reasonable-sounding life possible.

I see it every day, there is just not enough love available for us in the world, and too much hostility, criticism, selfishness, lack of consideration of others’ well being, so yes, there is a lot of dysfunction going on, lots of distress. I know it personally, of course. Not just from reading other people’s stories.

You brought up a few things in your recent post that I want to respond to, but later. You can post anytime, and I will respond every time that you do post.
