Dear Cali Chica:

Yes, I agree, your outward looking frenzy is extreme, has been extreme, yes. And your childhood has been extremely distressing, your mother having been extremely abusive.

Sometimes this frenzy caused by such childhoods harms the nervous system in such a way that the damage is permanent and sometimes people die because of accidents led by extreme frenzy.

I am sorry for you, your  sister, for me, my sister and for so many others harmed so badly by our parents.

And now what, what is there to do but calm that frenzy best we can, determine our long term goals and choose sensibly so to accomplish these goals  one day at a time, this moment and the next, like infants taking their first steps into a life that makes sense!?
