Dear Anonymous:

Thank yo. Well, I tried to rest but my chest hurts more when I lie down, so I am back. Like I wrote, I will be re-reading everything on this page tomorrow morning, but we can go back and forth a bit more before then.

When your mother wanted you to be positive but you didn’t feel positive; when she told you to not be sad but you did feel sad- what did you feel about feeling negative or sad.. when mom said you shouldn’t?

“My dad also was good at not acknowledging my feelings”- how did he not acknowledge your feelings, specifically?
